“The bus crashed into aBUA Cement trailer and then went into flames. Twenty-two people were inside the bus out of which 20 died,” he said
“Those who died include 17 male adults, 2 women and a minor. They said the trailer was parked when the bus went under it. It was terrible because we always caution bus drivers against night journeys,” he added.
