Two persons died on Friday in a road crash around Ota tollgate, along the Abeokuta-Lagos highway, Ogun State.

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) confirmed the incident, saying one person sustained injuries in the crash.

FRSC spokesperson in Ogun, Florence Okpe, said the crash, which occurred at about 05:11 am, involved four vehicles: a white Volvo trailer with registration number, T-14223LA; a yellow Volkswagen marked KRD132XX and two Bajaj motorcycles with number plates LAR178VL and PKA873VS.

“A total of three persons were involved, comprising two male adults and a female adult.

“One male adult was injured while one male adult and one female adult were recorded dead from the crash,” Okpe explained.

The suspected cause of the fatal crash, DAILY POST learnt, was wrongful overtaking and speeding on the part of the truck driver, which led to a collision with one of the bikes.

This, Okpe said, also led to a crash on the Volkswagen vehicle and the other motorcycle.

She said the dead victims had been deposited at the Ifo General Hospital morgue.

Okpe stated that the Ogun FRSC Sector Commander, Anthony Uga, had cautioned motorists to always drive defensively by considering other vehicles on the road.

He emphasized that drivers should always maintain the required speed limit on the road, even as he commiserated with the victims’ families.

And you should be given a round of applause for doing so? In as much as you are hustling for your daily bread, I wouldn't say it is unprofessional of you because you are not even a professional in the first place, just a copy and paste hustler, make effort to learn how to properly go about it.

RIP . But this is not Lagos/Abeokuta Highway now.

Ogun state and bad news this says

The event happened at 5am, the alleged cause was over speeding, what do you expect the agencies or govt to do?
The U-turn there has been removed, a slope from 3 axis met there, any sane driver should reduce his speed on a slope as you don't know what you might meet at the end of it

This morning! 😔😔
LORD, please, have mercy on our souls!

FRSC does NOTHING to prevent accidents!

They are known to even CAUSE accidents.

Some of them certainly almost killed my driver and I some years back along Ijebu-Ode - Ibadan road.

They asked us to pull over at a bend, while a trailer was already parked, hidden from view.

We almost ran into the trailer. My driver swerved and we shouted insults at the stupid dudes in uniform as we went by.

All they do is evacuate the dead and injured.

At least they are a bit useful, making up for nonexistent Ambulances/EMT vehicles on Nigerian roads.

It is certainly the expired drugs that is heightening you.

Sad!
The picture attached is far from the true state of that Lagos Abeokuta Expressway especially that toll gate area.
OP should replace the picture and not use a general one to depict this type of road accident.
