ABUJA, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) -- At least 10 people were killed after a bus rammed into a stationary truck in Nigeria's northern state of Jigawa early Tuesday, the police said.

Lawal Shiisu, a spokesman for the police in Jigawa, told reporters that the ill-fated bus somersaulted several times, noting the driver and nine passengers died on the spot at the Yanfari village of the Taura local government area Tuesday morning.

Shiisu said a police patrol team raced to the scene and rescued one victim who was sent to a local hospital for treatment.

Deadly road accidents are frequently reported in Nigeria, often caused by overloading, bad road conditions, and reckless driving. Enditem
