A pregnant woman and two others have been killed in a multiple road crash around the Danco axis on the Lagos-Ibadan highway.
The truck driver drove recklessly, left his lane and faced the motorcycle, thereby crushing both the rider and his passenger to death, witnesses say.

An unspecified number of persons were burnt to death in an auto crash on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
Out of the 61 death recorded, 54 were male while seven were female.
The spokesman said that the driver of the Toyota Sienna lost control and hit the loaded stationary truck.
