It was a moment of tears and sorrows as fifteen people reportedly lost their lives in a ghastly auto-crash that occurred early hours of yesterday morning at 17 miles along Enugu/Abakaliki Expressway when 15-seater bus belonging to Enugu-North Mass Transit and a tipper truck collided.
Blueprint gathered that only two persons came out alive but was in a critical condition from the bus that said to have carrying sixteen passengers from Abakaliki to Enugu before the accident. The two drivers also died.

Our correspondent who visited the scene reports that the truck has been removed while only the wreckage of the bus left at the road side.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Ebere Amaraizu, said he has not received such report.
Meanwhile, the deceased bodies have been taken to morgue at Annunciation Special Hospital, Enugu including the injured.
