JUST IN: FOUR DIE, 10 INJURED IN LAGOS-IBADAN EXPRESSWAY CRASH
An accident on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Tuesday resulted in the death of four people and the injuries of ten more.
In a statement on Tuesday, Florence Okpe, a spokesman for the Federal Road Safety Corps’ (FRSC) Ogun State Sector Command, stated that a tyre burst caused a bus carrying 20 people to tumble.
Around 5:57 in the morning, an accident involving a white Toyota bus with the licence plate ZUR87ZY occurered near Sandcrate on the motorway.
Okpe said, “A total of 20 persons were involved. 10 persons were injured while four male adults were recorded dead from the crash.
“The suspected cause of the fatal lone crash was excessive speeding and tyre bust which led to the loss of control that made the vehicle somersaulted many times.”
The front of the caravan was observed to be dangling near the bridge’s edge after the caravan collided with it.
