On Friday, 5 small buses loaded with people were traveling through the southern part of Nigeria in the state of Anambra. A tanker carrying fuel collide with one of these potholes causing it to flip over exploding.
The jammed packed buses were too close to the explosion and also were set on fire. 70 people were severly burnt and perished in the flames. The number of victims is expected to grow as badly burnt bodies of people are identified from the buses.
The roads are in such poor condition and it is feared that accidents of this sort are going to continue to happen until they are repaired. It is a common sight to see an accident on the Nigerian roadways.
There were many more people injured in the explosion and have been transported to close by hospitals.
