No fewer than four people have lost their lives while another four were injured on Sunday in an accident that occurred at about 12:40 p.m. around MRI, Mosimi along the Sagamu-Ogijo-Ikorodu area of Ogun State.

The crash involved a wine-coloured Toyota Sienna bus with registration number LND945EL and a white convoy bus with registration number AKD232XV.

The fatal crash was blamed on wrongful overtaking and excessive speeding, leading to a head-on collision of the two vehicles.

The spokesperson for the Ogun State Sector Command, Federal Road Safety Corps, Florence Okpe revealed this in a statement sent to journalists on Sunday.

The injured were said to have been taken to the Dasochris Hospital at Gbaga, Ogijo, while the relatives of the dead were said to have come around to claim their corpses for burial.

The statement partly read, “Rescue operation was carried out today, Sunday, 26th May 2024, by a team from FRSC Mosimi Unit Command at MRI on a crash that occurred at about 1240 hrs.

“The crash involved two vehicles with the following details:
wine Toyota Sienna with registration number LND945EL and a white Convoy Bus with registration number AKD232XV.

“Eight people were involved in the crash. Six male adults, one female adult and one female child.”

Okpe said that the four deceased included two male adults, one female adult and one female child while four male adults were injured.

“The injured victims were taken to Dasochris Hospital, Gbaga, Ogijo, while the family took custody of the corpses.

“The suspected causes of the crash were speed and wrongful overtaking which led to the rear collision of the two vehicles,” the statement added.

The Sector Commander, Ogun Sector Command, Anthony Uga has sympathised with the families of the crash victims.

Uga advised motorists to desist from overspeeding and give total attention to driving, as it is very important to be sure of when to overtake and not at will.

He further urged motorists to ensure road markings on overtaking are obeyed.

Bad News Is Getting Too Much, Cha E!

Leap year

It is very annoying to see a reckless driver, they feel they are beetr than everyone until they kill innocent and careful road users

That is impact is mad.
This accident is courtesy of two very stupid drivers.

Drivers can be very funny.

More accidents are caused by stupidity than bad roads.

Most of the traffic on Lagos road are caused by stupid drivers.

RIP to the dead

Most accidents are avoidable but any kind of accident is preventable. It's just a matter of keeping your madness and recklessness away before doing anything.

Hmm this is serious. May God keep us from evil now and beyond

Damn

the FRSC focuses on looking vehicles were passengers dont wear seat belts but does not attempt to look for and punish drivers for over speeding or for causing accidents as if not wearing seat belt is the cause of accidents

strangest:
Leap year

You mean accidents don't happen every other year apart from leap year?

RIP to the departed souls.

Funny enough, while growing up, the only thing I knew about that Shagamu road as portrayed by Yoruba Nollywood that time was accident. If they want to say an actor has died in an accident, it will be that Shagamu road.

I fear those J5 drivers pass tanker drivers
Many of them are very reckless and always over speeding.
The drivers are mostly northerners who have been on the road overnight and are speeding and rushing to their destination to offload their goods so that they can travel back to the north to load another goods.

Sorry to the family that lost their loved one's.

I welcome myself back to Nairaland after a very long absenteeism.

Sad, the welcoming is in a bad news post.

No Good News like Bad News, Journalist Motto

R.I.P to the Dead. I think the government should find a solution to this over speeding of vehicles on the roads, like regulator with fines.

Terrible, why bad news Everytime?

Nothing to cheer, uplift our soul in this country.

No hope, only hardship and death is what we hear everyday, hope we're not in the great Tinubulation that the Christians do talk about?

Chai!

The crashed vehicles showed the speed levels

.....the four deceased included two male adults, one female adult and one female child while four male adults were injured.

May the souls of the departed Rest in Peace.

May we not use our hands to bury our children in life.
