Sleeping Driver Rams Into Truck, Kills 5, Injures 12 On Lagos-Ibadan Expressway by BadNews(op): 6:39am On Feb 14, 2024
At least, Five Persons have died while 12 others sustained varying degrees of injuries in an accident along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, on Tuesday.

The Accident which occurred a distance away from Foursquare along the highway involved a Mazda bus with registration number, SMK 685 YG and a truck marked, ZE 121 0G.

Spokesperson of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, Ogun Sector Command, Florence Okpe, confirmed the accident to journalists in Abeokuta on Tuesday.

According to Okpe, the accident was caused by the driver of the Mazda bus who lost control of the wheels while sleeping.

“A total of 18 persons, comprising 10 male adults and eight female adults were involved in the accident. Twelve people were injured and unfortunately, five persons were recorded dead from the crash.

“The suspected causes of the fatal crash were tyre burst, speed and fatigue which led to loss of control because the driver slept off on the wheels and rammed into a moving truck.

“The injured victims were taken to Victory Hospital, Ogere while corpses were deposited at FOS Morgue Ipara”, Okpe said.

Sleeping driver? Some drivers know they are sleepy, yet they don't stop driving.

One driver did it one morning from Ajah to Epe and his vehicle was fully-loaded. Passengers were shouting and touching him to keep him awake during the journey because he had already collected their money and refused to refund the money. It was when he arrived the Epe terminal that he confessed he didn't sleep throughout the previous night. You didn't sleep and you loaded passengers to die with you.

It’s a noble thing to park and take a nap when you’re sleeping on the wheel but some folks would be forming smartness while taking a deadly risk.

May the departed find eternal rest in the Lord.
