The crash which occurred at the wee hours of Tuesday involved a white/blue Mitsubishi L300 bus with registration number: ZBL554YG.

An eyewitness said the bus driver lost control when he suddenly sighted the cows along the highway.

“The driver was obstructed by herdsmen with their cows along the expressway, lost control and rammed into the cows, killing and injuring many of them” he added.

Confirming the incident, Sector Commander, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Adeoye Irelewuyi attributed the crash to road obstruction.

He said the driver sustained injury, adding that two cows were killed while two were injured.

He wished the victim quick recovery, urging motoring public to be at alert at all times, and give full concentration to driving.
