No fewer than two persons have lost their lives in a fatal
autocrash along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Ogun state.
Three others also sustained varying degrees of injuries during
the tragic incident which occurred along the Mountain Top University area of
the road, involving a commercial bus marked AGL 54 XU and an unregistered
truck.
Spokesman of Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement
Agency (TRACE), Commander Babatunde Akinbiyi, who confirmed the incident to
newsmen in Abeokuta, the state capital, said the victims died on the spot.
Akinbiyi attributed the cause of the accident to excessive

control of the vehicle and in the process rammed into the moving truck from the
rear, thereby killing victims.

deposited in the morgue of the Ogun State University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu
