FRSC recovers corpse as truck plunges into Ososa River on Sagamu-Benin expressway
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ogun has recovered the corpse of a victim of a truck that plunged into Ososa River on Sagamu-Benin Expressway on Monday.
Ogun Sector Commander of FRSC, Ahmed Umar, confirmed the development in a statement in Ota, Ogun.
Mr Umar said traffic had been temporarily diverted from inward Benin to outward Benin section to forestall secondary crash after a truck loaded with cement plunged into Ososa River in the earlier hours of Monday.
He blamed the accident on speeding, adding that the accident could have been averted if the truck driver had adhered to the stipulated speed limit.
“The FRSC is appealing to motorists to drive cautiously and cooperate with its personnel and other sister agencies to manage the traffic situation effectively.
“Also, the police from Odogbolu and divers are on ground on a thorough search so that the remaining victims could be recovered from the River,” he said.
