Three persons, including two students of the Ladoke Akintola University, Ogbomoso, Oyo State and the driver of a commuter bus, were the victims of an auto crash on Wednesday night, along the Osogbo/Ilobu Road in Osun State.
Five other occupants of the bus were rescued by the operatives of the Osun Ambulance Scheme that responded to the distress call from the scene of the carnage, according to the authorities.
The students were returning from a picnic at the Erin Ijesa Waterfalls.
An eyewitness account of the incident indicated that the driver of the bus conveying the victims collided with a commercial motorcyclist and was trying to escape from the scene.
According to the witness, while being chased by some angry residents of the area, the driver lost control of the vehicle, causing the bus to flip and catch fire.
