An early-morning accident on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State claimed the lives of four individuals and left one person injured. The incident occurred around 4 a.m. on Wednesday near Straight Gate School, Ipara Remo, along the Ibadan-Lagos route. A blue Mitsubishi Cabstar (FGE 753 XA) and an ash-coloured HOWO truck (T-695 KT) were involved in the crash, which involved eight people.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) stated that the Mitsubishi driver was speeding and attempted to overtake the truck, resulting in a collision. Speed violation, wrongful overtaking, and fatigue were identified as the primary causes of the accident. The FRSC rescued the injured man at 4:33 a.m. and transported him to Victory Hospital for treatment.
The deceased were taken to the FOS Mortuary, Ipara. The Ogun State Sector Command's spokesman, Chief Route Commander Afolabi Odunsi, emphasized the dangers of speeding, driving while fatigued, and dangerous overtaking, especially during early-morning journeys. He urged motorists to be well-rested and cautious when overtaking. The two vehicles were later handed over to the Police Motor Traffic Division for further investigation.
