Death recorded in Lagos-Ibadan road multiple auto crash
The Ogun Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE) on Sunday confirmed one person dead and one other injured in a crash involving three vehicles at Aseese, on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Ojuoro Olusola, the Mowe-Ibafo Divisional Commander of TRACE, said the crash occurred at 5.53 p.m.
According to Mr. Olusola, the incident involved an Iveco mini truck with registration number T 4337LA and a Toyota Corolla marked FJA 154 BK, and a Daf truck with no number.
He said the speeding Daf truck hit the Iveco truck as it was about negotiating out of a park on the expressway from the rear, crashing into the Toyota Corolla.
“Five people were involved in the multiple-accident that led to the death of one person, while one other person sustained various degrees of injuries.
“The corpse of the victim has been handed over to the family members while the survivor is receiving treatment at Famobis Hospital,” Mr. Olusola explained.
He added that the three vehicles were towed through the assistance of TRACE, Federal Road Safety Corps, police, and army to ease the free flow of traffic in the area.
Mr. Olusola implored motorists to adhere strictly to all traffic rules and regulations and warned against speeding.
