10 injured, 1 died in car incident on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway

One person died in a single collision on Saturday about 2:58 p.m. on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway near Saapade, while ten others were critically injured.

The white Mazda bus with registration number GGE 858 XY involved in the accident was believed to be traveling at high speeds when one of its tires burst, leading the driver to lose control and the vehicle to tumble.

Florence Okpe, spokeswoman for the Federal Road Safety Corps’ Ogun State Sector Command, confirmed this in a statement released on Saturday.

Okpe stated that the injured were taken to Patmag Hospital, Ogere, for medical care, while the body of the deceased was deposited at FOS Morgue, Ipara Remo.

The statement reads, “A total of 17 people were involved in the accident, comprising eight male adults, seven female adults, one female child, and one male child. Sadly, one female adult was killed, while ten people were seriously injured (two male adults, six female adults, one male child, and one female child).

“The injured victims were taken to Patmag Hospital, Ogere, for medical attention, and the body of the deceased was deposited at FOS Morgue, Ipara. The suspected causes of the crash were speed, tyre burst, and loss of control.”

Meanwhile, the Ogun State Sector Commander of the FRSC, Akinwumi Fasakin, has advised motorists to pay closer attention to their tyres by checking the expiration dates and tread and by avoiding substandard tyres.

Fasakin stated that a tyre burst at a controlled speed could have been handled better.
