A car incident on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway has killed four people and injured eight more.
The collision happened on Tuesday night near the Car Park C Turning segment of the freeway and included a Howo truck and a Mazda bus with the license plate EPE440YG.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) blamed the accident on the Mazda bus driver, who failed to notice a truck turning, causing the bus to lose control and fall into the truck’s bucket.
“A total of 14 people were involved, 08 injured, 02 unhurt and 04 recorded death, ” the agency said.
The FRSC Sector Commander for Ogun Sector Command CC Anthony Uga in a release through the Chief Route Commander and Public Education Officer, Florence Okpe, said the injured persons were taken to two different hospitals – Famobis Hospital pakuro and Idera, for treatment while the remains of the dead were deposited at Idera morgue Sagamu .
Uga reminded motorists that speed thrills but kills hence the need to drive responsibly and observe all road signs.
He sympathised with the family of the victims and pray to God to strengthen the family.
