Scene of the ghastly accident
Four persons have been confirmed dead and eight injured in an auto-crash on Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
The crash occurred on Tuesday night around Car Park C Turning stretch of the expressway and involved a Howo truck and a Mazda bus with registration number EPE440YG.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) attributed the cause of the accident to the mazda bus driver who didn’t observe that a truck was making a turning and in the ensuing loss of control, the bus crashed into the bucket of the truck.
“A total of 14 people were involved, 08 injured, 02 unhurt and 04 recorded death, ” the agency said.
The FRSC Sector Commander for Ogun Sector Command CC Anthony Uga in a release through the Chief Route Commander and Public Education Officer, Florence Okpe, said the injured persons were taken to two different hospitals – Famobis Hospital pakuro and Idera, for treatment while the remains of the dead were deposited at Idera morgue Sagamu .
Uga reminded motorists that speed thrills but kills hence the need to drive responsibly and observe all road signs.
He sympathised with the family of the victims and pray to God to strengthen the family.(The Nation: Text, Excluding Headline)
