The Howo truck and the Mazda bus, which had the licence plate EPE440YG, were involved in the Tuesday night incident close to the Car Park C Turning section of the motorway.
The bus lost control and crashed into the truck’s bucket due to the driver of the Mazda bus losing sight of a turning vehicle, according to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
