ONE DEAD, ANOTHER INJURED IN OSUN ACCIDENT
A yet-to-be-identified male adult has tragically died in a road accident on the Gbongan/Ife expressway on Wednesday.
The single-vehicle accident, involving a truck, was reportedly caused by brake failure, which resulted in the driver losing control.

Another passenger in the vehicle sustained injuries and was quickly taken to Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital in Ile-Ife, Osun State, by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) officers who responded to the accident scene.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Osun Sector Commander of the FRSC, Adeyemi Sokunbi, issued a warning against speeding.
Sokunbi also urged the motoring public “to always make sure their vehicles are in good condition before embarking on any journey. Drivers should also shun excessive speeding.”
Giving further details about the accident, the statement partly read, “Vehicle involved, 1, model, truck, nature of the road traffic accident, fatal, cause of the road traffic accident, brake failure.
“Number of people involved, 2, number injured, 1 male adult, number killed, 1 male adult. The Injured Victim was rushed to OAU Teaching Hospital, Ife for treatment, while the dead body was deposited at the hospital’s mortuary.”
