Four dead in Osun road accident: FRSC
The Osun Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says four persons lost their lives in Sunday’s accident that occurred on the Osun-Ondo expressway.
Taofeeq Sokumbi, Osun sector commander, disclosed this in an interview with journalists in Osogbo, the state capital.
Mr Sokumbi said the accident occurred opposite Joseph Ayo Babalola University due to excessive speeding on the part of the vehicles involved, leading to the death of four passengers.
He warned motorists against dangerous driving, which could lead to loss of lives and property.
According to him, the accident resulted from the carelessness of the driver, who knew the danger ahead due to excessive speeding.
He said the injured persons had been taken to an undisclosed hospital for treatment, with corpses of the dead victims deposited at a morgue.
Mr Sokumbi, however, warned that the command would not hesitate to deal with any road offender violating the state’s safety laws.
