A fully-loaded passenger bus, Sunday evening, at Ihiala, Anambra State, somersaulted and burst into flames, burning the occupants beyond recognition. The accident, said to have been caused by over-speeding, occurred opposite Omorka along Ihiala-Onitsha road.

The Anambra State Fire Service was contacted and the FRSC rescue team from Ihiala Unit Command was also on ground to ensure free flow of traffic.”
