Four students of the Federal University of Technology, Akure yesterday lost their lives in a road accident on the Akure-Ilesha expressway as they made their way back to Akure after attending a religious programme in Ibadan. Fifteen students of the university were in the Hiace bus which had conveyed them, before the unfortunate incident happened. It was gathered that a motor cycle had found its way into the expressway leaving the bus driver to manoeuver which made the bus somersault several times.
