The injured victims were taken to Victory Hospital at Ogere, while the corpses were deposited at the FOS Morgue in Ipara.
Ms Okpe explained that the accident occurred at 11:40 a.m. and was caused by excessive speed on the driver’s part, leading to loss of control.
Four people lost their lives in a lone crash that occurred in the early hours of Tuesday around the Sandcrate area on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Ms Okpe said the accident resulted from overspeeding, which led to the vehicle losing control.
