A woman conveying her daughter to school in Ogun State, has reportedly drowned after the private vehicle she was driving skidded off the expressway and plunged into the river.

Igbere TV gathered that the incident happened on Sunday at the dual carriage bridge between Ososa and Odogbolu stretch of the Sagamu-Ore expressway.

Igbere TV learnt that her daughter was, however, rescued from the water.

She is a student of Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED), Ijagun, Ogun State.

The Public Relations Officer, Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE), Babatunde Akinbiyi, told newsmen that the vehicle was coming from Lekki in Lagos and going to Ijebu-Ode when the accident occurred.

Akinbiyi added that mother and daughter were the only occupants of the vehicle and that the woman was conveying her daughter, who is a student of TASUED, to school at the time but lost control of the wheel and plunged into the river.

“The woman was taking her daughter back to school. As a result of over speeding, the woman lost control of the vehicle and plunged the vehicle into the river”, he said.

“The driver, who is the woman and mother of the lady, lost her life, while the daughter is receiving treatment at the Ijebu-Ode General Hospital.”

Igbere TV learnt that the accident vehicle had been evacuated from the river and moved to the Motor Traffic Division (MTD) of the Nigeria Police, Odogbolu Divisional Police Headquarters of the state.
