Truck Crushes Two People To Death Leaving One Injured In Ogun

Two people were crushed to death on Saturday and another injured at Sango, Ogun State, when another truck had a head-on collision with another vehicle.

A containerized truck marked AAA448XJ, Dangote truck marked GN 7248-16 and a tanker with registration number KSF991XF were involved in the accident at the Sango Tollgate corridor of the Lagos -Abeokuta expressway.

It was discovered that the containerized truck had a brake failure and in attempts by the diver to avoid crashing into vehicles on its track, it veered into the outbound Lagos traffic lane, colliding head-on with a Dangote truck and in the process with one other.

The Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE) Public Relations Officer, Babatunde Akinbiyi, who confirmed the accident, said the injured was rescued at the Ota State Hospital while the remnants of the dead were taken to Ifo Mortuary – all in Ogun State.
