The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ogun has confirmed the death of three persons in a crash at the Conoil area of the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway.

A statement by FRSC’s spokesperson in Ogun, Florence Okpe, said the crash, involving an SUV and a motorcycle, happened at about 2:25 p.m. on Sunday.

“The unfortunate accident involved a Lexus RX350 marked APP 541 GY and a Bajaj motorcycle with registration number TTD 017 QR,” said the FRSC official.

Ms Okpe, who blamed the crash on route violation, said two persons came out unhurt. She added that the remains of the victims had been deposited in a morgue.

She advised motorists to obey traffic rules to avoid similar incidents.
