According to Mrs. Florence Okpe, the spokesperson for the Federal Road Safety Corps in Ogun State, the accident was caused by excessive speed on the part of the Sienna space bus, which rammed into a moving truck from the rear.
“The driver of the Sienna bus was speeding, and that led to the accident. Two men and seven women were involved, and unfortunately, two men and four women died, while three women sustained injuries,” Okpe said.
The injured victims were taken to Patmag Hospital, Ogere, while the deceased were deposited at FOS morgue, Ipara. The Sector Commander, FRSC, Ogun State, Akinwumi Fasakin, described the crash as an avoidable act if proper caution was fully put in place by the driver.
“Motorists should ensure they give maximum concentration to driving and always obey traffic rules and regulations,” Fasakin said.
