The driver of an Abia Line Network Sienna vehicle, on Sunday, survived a fatal crash, but his passengers including two babies did not survive.
The Abia Police Command and the state Command of Federal Road Safety Corps have since confirmed the incident.
The incident happened near the Umuika Junction along the Enugu-Aba-Port Harcourt expressway on Sunday at about 12:45 pm while the Sienna was going from Abakaliki in Ebonyi State to Aba in Abia State.
According to an eyewitness, the driver of the Sienna bus was at high speed and lost control after falling asleep and hitting a truck before crashing into the bush, resulting in the deaths of all passengers and their babies, except him who miraculously survived.
Efforts to get an official statement from the management of the transport company proved abortive as the General Manager, Mrs. Onyemachi Nwaogwugwu, was not available for her comments.
