One killed in Lagos-Ibadan Expressway crash
The Ogun Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE) says one person has been killed in a road crash on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The crash occurred on Thursday.
TRACE confirmed one person dead while one other sustained injury in an accident involving a truck and a Mazda Bus at Aseese.
Ojuoro Olushola, the Mowe-Ibafo Divisional Commander of TRACE, revealed that the crash occurred at about 8.10 am.
Mr. Olushola said it involved a mini truck with registration number APP-312 XP and a Mazda bus marked KJA-670 XM.
According to him, the crash happened due to speeding and careless driving.
He added that the Mazda bus rammed into the truck as it made a U-turn at Aseese.
“Eighteen passengers were involved in the 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,” he said.
He explained that the vehicles were towed off the road by TRACE, Federal Road Safety Corps, the police, and the army to ease the free flow of traffic in the area.
Mr. Olushola advised motorists to adhere strictly to all traffic rules and regulations and avoid speeding to prevent unnecessary loss of lives and property.
