ABUJA, July 31 (Xinhua) -- At least four people were killed, and 10 others were injured early Monday after a truck and a bus had a head-on collision in Nigeria's northern state of Jigawa, the police said.
Ibrahim Gambo, the spokesman for the Federal Road Safety Corps in Jigawa State, told reporters in the state capital of Dutse that the crash near Achauya, a village in the state's Gumel local government area, might be caused by a speed violation of the bus, which was at top speed when it rammed into the oncoming truck.
Deadly road accidents are frequently reported in Nigeria, often blamed on overloading, bad roads, and reckless driving. ■
