Accident Claims 12 Lives In Ogun Accident

12 people lost their lives in a road accident involving a black kia cerator car and a grey Toyota Sport  space bus in Ogun State due to over speeding.

The Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ogun, Clement Oladele, confirmed the accident, stating that the car was on high speed when the tyre burst.

“The bus with registration number LSR 334 FF was travelling from Abeokuta toward Sagamu. The unfortunate crash killed all the occupants of the two vehicles. The driver was suspected to have applied brake suddenly, which made him lose control. This led the speeding car to climb the road divider to the opposite direction, where it collided with the bus. Twelve persons who were involved in the crash —five male adults, six female adults and one child —  all died,” he said.

Oladele said the corpses had been deposited at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH) morgue.

He also cautioned drivers to avoid over speeding and always ensure that they check their cars are always in good condition before entering the road.
