Four persons have been reported dead in a crash that occurred opposite Mountain Top University along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
According to Florence Okpe, Spokesperson for the Federal Road Safety Corps Ogun command, the crash occurred in the early hours of today involving a LEXUS RX350 SUV with registration number KTU738HM and a MACK TRUCK T21024LA.
