A tragic Sunday as a Peace Mass Transit Bus collided with a yellow truck along the Umuahia-Okigwe Road at about 6.30pm on Sunday, May 22, 2016.

Princewill Atasie, an eye-witness, told www.metronaija.com that due to a heavy rain, the road was slippery and this unfortunate incident happened when the yellow truck was overtaking another vehicle on the road.

“The other lane of the expressway is bad, so commuters are using one side, creating a one-way situation,” Atasie told our reporter on phone. “It appears as if the driver miscalculated as he was overtaking another vehicle which led to the head-on collusion.”

Images from the ghastly motor accident shows that the driver of the Peace Mass Transit bus and many passengers may have died on the spot.

As at the time of reporting this, first responders are yet to arrive at the scene of the accident.

May the souls of the departed, rest in peace.

RIP to the dead.
This type of accident is inevitable. I witnessed it first hand on my way back from the east yesterday with incidentally peace mass transit.
It's the norm for the vehicles to crossover from a bad stretch of road to opposite side and drive at full speed irrespective of transport company or vehicle type. I experienced it with another transport company I came with.
The vehicles speed opposite each other in a road meant for a certain direction and some still try to overtake vehicles by driving at the exact position an oncoming vehicle is, hoping to completely overtake the vehicle in front before it comes in contact with the oncoming one.
All I see is unnecessary risks.
The government too needs to make the highways safe and motorable.

The rain wey dey fall for Nigeria dey learn for where Ireland dey, yet we no dey see accidents like we do in Nigeria.

Truth be told, until we start to service our vehicles regularly and use tyres wey dey adaptable to wet roads accidents no go reduce.

I could see the notorious transportation company there whose drivers are known for recklessness and over speeding. They have sent thousands to their early graves. Their other baptized name is pieces. RIP to the dead
