Nigeria: 12 students among 18 killed as buses collide
Mon. July 07, 2008 03:31 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. -

(SomaliNet) Twelve students are among the eighteen people killed when their bus collided with an oncoming bus on a road in southern Edo state, police said Saturday.

The accident happened when the front tyre on the bus burst, causing the driver to lose control and veer into another lane before colliding with another bus, the police said.

Accidents are common on Nigeria's poorly-maintained inter-city roads because of speeding and disregard of traffic rules. - Sapa-AFP
