Three die in Ogun road crashes

Two separate road crashes in Ogun State claimed three lives and injured seven people, according to Sunday PUNCH. The accidents occurred on Saturday along the Sagamu-Ikorodu Expressway and the Ota-Idiroko Road.

At the Kam Steel axis of the Sagamu-Ikorodu Expressway, a woman was killed and two others sustained injuries when a patrol van collided with a tricycle. The incident occurred around 4:10 p.m., after the van emerged from the Kam Steel access road and crashed into the tricycle, causing it to flip over. The victims were taken to Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu.

On the Ota-Idiroko Road, a yellow Howo truck and a TVS tricycle were involved in a crash near the Agarawu, Winners axis. The accident, which happened around 3:25 p.m., was caused by brake failure, leading the truck driver to lose control and collide with the tricycle. Two people, including a man and a woman, died, while five others were injured. The injured victims were taken to the General Hospital morgue in Ifo.
