An accident which occurred on Tuesday at Akinhale village, Ewekoro, on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, Ogun State, left three people dead and two others injured.

The accident involving an Iveco truck, with number plate AAA 912 XK, occurred after the driver lost control of the wheels, leading to detachment of the container which veered off the road into the bush.

Bad things always happening.

I see lots of rusted containers / tankers on the road which shouldn't even be allowed on the road. I wonder what FRSC is doing about all these containers.

Whenever i am on a bus, in a traffic , and i see all those containers, it would be as if my skeleton jumped out of my skin.
