TRACE cautions motorists as Ogun crash claims two
The Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency in Ogun State has cautioned motorists against speeding as the Easter season begins.
Spokesperson for the agency, Babatunde Akinbiyi, gave the caution while speaking during an interview in Abeokuta on Tuesday.
Mr Akinbiyi was reacting to a fatal crash that occurred on Ilese Ijebu Ode/Ibadan highway corridor command on Monday.
The agency’s spokesperson lamented over such an avoidable accident that claimed two lives, adding that the accident needed not to have occurred.
It occurred at 6:00 a.m. due to speeding by the driver. Efforts to get back on his lane after he noticed a bush were too late. The number of victims is three out of which one was injured and other two died.
TRACE had taken the two corpses to Ijebu Igbo to the family and the injured to General Hospital Ijebu Igbo.
He said, “The Toyota Camry involved, which is ash in colour and with the registration number SMK 532HY, has been moved to Owode Iperin.”
