Ten escape death in Ondo lone accident
No fewer than 10 people escaped death in a lone accident on Saturday at Omotosho Step Down Power Plant on Ijebu-Ode-Ore Expressway in Odigbo Local Government area of Ondo State.
Sikiru Alonge, the Unit Commander, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ore, confirmed the incident, saying that the accident involved an Opel Space Wagon marked Ogun AKM 995 SS, carrying 10 passengers, while overspeeding.
“The accident occurred because of speeding, but no lives were lost in the accident,” the unit commander said.
He said that seven of the passengers, including two male adults and five female adults sustained varying degrees of injuries in the accident.
Mr Alonge said that the victims were taken to a private facility, Opeyemi Hospital in Ore, while the vehicle was towed to the Divisional Police Station in Omotosho.
He, however, warned motorists to always maintain normal speed limit, shun over speeding and other regulations that violate traffic rules and regulation, which could lead to crashes.
