At least 10 people lost their lives on Friday, in an accident that
involved two trucks and two commercial buses at Ogunmakin area of
Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Ogun state.
The Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Commission in Ogun,
Adegoke Adetunji, who confirmed the accident, said that the two buses
rammed into the trucks at about 5a.m claiming the life of 10 people on
the spot. He said, “We went to the scene and met the crash which involved two
trucks and two commercial buses.
A Mazda bus with registration number
MAY 152 XA and a Toyota bus with registration number LND 21 XQ, were traveling to Ibadan before they rammed into the trucks.
“We understood that the first truck had broken down in the night and
was rammed into by the second truck while the two commercial buses also
rammed into the trucks around 5a.m.
“Motorists should desist from traveling at night because visibility
is limited. Broken down trucks should always use reflective signs so
that oncoming drivers would be able to see them.
“I appeal to the general public to always call our number 122 anytime they see any broken down vehicle on the highways.”
The FRSC has said the corpses of victims have since been deposited at the Fakoya Mortuary in Sagamu.
