Speeding truck driver loses control, crushes woman to death on Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway
The Federal Road Safety Corps, Ogun Command, has said a truck crushed a woman to death at Dalemo area on Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway on Thursday.
Ogun Sector Commander of the FRSC, Anthony Uga, who confirmed the incident on Friday in Ota, said the accident occurred at about 11:00 p.m.
Mr Uga explained that the truck marked XA 354 WDP and two persons were involved in the accident.
The sector commander said that the truck lost control due to speeding and hit a female adult standing beside the road, resulting in her death.
The sector commander said, “The corpse of the victim had been deposited at Ifo General Hospital, Ogun.”
The FRSC boss implored drivers against restless driving and to always conduct a routine check on their vehicles to ensure that the brake was functional before putting them on the road.
Mr Uga, however, commiserated with the family of the deceased and prayed that God would grant them the fortitude to bear the loss.
