Enugu, usually referred to as Enugu State to distinguish it from the city of Enugu, is a state in southeastern Nigeria, created in 1991 from part of the old Anambra State.
Eighteen persons have been burnt to death in an auto crash along the Enugu/Port-Harcourt Expressway on Sunday.
The accident involved a Mercedes Benz tipper and an 18-seater commuter bus, police authorities in the South-East state said.
A statement from the Enugu State Police Command spokesman Daniel Ndukwe said the tipper loaded with bags of cement was plying against traffic from Enugu City when it had a head-on collision with the bus loaded with passengers coming from Aba, Abia State.

The bodies of the victims have been evacuated while investigations have commenced into the accident, the police spokesman added.
