Three die in lone accident on Lagos-Ibadan expressway
Three persons lost their lives in a lone accident around Foursquare Gate on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway on Saturday.
The Ogun commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Ahmed Umar, said that the accident happened at about 6:50 a.m.
Mr Umar explained that the crash involved three males and a Mitsubishi Canter with registration number LAR 116XN.
He blamed the accident on excessive speeding, which made the vehicle lose control, skip into the bush, thus leading to the death of all the people in the vehicle.
“The corpses of the victims have been deposited at FOS morgue, Ipara,” he said.
The sector commander described the crash as an avoidable act, advising motorists to avoid excessive speed and dangerous driving.
He also asked them to obey traffic rules and regulations.
Mr Umar commiserated with the family of the victims and prayed to God to grant them the fortitude to bear the loss.
He also enjoined them to contact the FRSC Command in Ogunmakin KM27 for details of the crash and reclaim the properties of the victims recovered from the scene of the mishap.
