Donald Ojogo, a lawmaker representing Ilaje/Ese-Odo Federal Constituency in Ondo State, narrowly escaped serious injury when his convoy was involved in a road accident along the Ore-Ondo Road on Saturday. The incident, confirmed by Samuel Ibitoye, the Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) for Ondo State, involved three vehicles - two buses and a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado.
The crash resulted in 19 people being affected, comprising 15 males and four females. Preliminary assessments suggest that wrongful overtaking and overspeeding were contributing factors. Two female passengers suffered severe injuries, while others sustained minor injuries. The victims were promptly taken to a nearby medical facility for treatment.
Ojogo, who had recently secured a return ticket to the National Assembly, was not seriously injured. However, some of his companions were receiving medical attention. In response to the incident, the FRSC official urged motorists to practice patience and adopt defensive driving techniques to prevent further accidents. He emphasized that while speeding may be tempting, it can prove fatal, and advised against engaging in wrongful overtaking.
