AT least 36 people have been killed in a collision between a bus and a petrol tanker in southern Nigeria.
The tanker exploded after Friday's collision in Nigeria's Edo state, and most of the victims were reportedly on board the bus.
Federal Road Safety Corps spokesman Jonas Agwu said three people survived the collision.
Agwu said the crash resulted in a fire that burned for hours, making it difficult for officials to know how many people died.
Nigeria has some of West Africa's worst roads, despite its oil wealth. Massive potholes and poor paving, coupled with aggressive drivers, are blamed for many crashes. World Health Organization data shows Nigeria suffers from one of the world's highest traffic fatality rates.
