One person has been confirmed dead, and three others sustained injuries in a road accident along the Abeokuta-Sagamu Expressway.
The crash, which occurred around 4:20 a.m. on Friday, involved two unregistered trucks—a white Sino truck and a blue Volvo truck. The accident took place near the SWAT Office, opposite the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta.
Preliminary reports attribute the accident to brake failure and loss of control, leading to a collision between the two trucks.
According to authorities, nine male adults were involved in the incident. One person lost his life, three suffered injuries, and five others escaped unhurt.
The injured victims were rushed to State Hospital, Ijaiye, Abeokuta, while the deceased’s body was deposited at the General Hospital morgue.
Sector Commander Akinwumi Fasakin extended condolences to the family of the deceased and urged motorists to conduct daily vehicle checks to prevent similar tragedies.
