A fatal accident occurred on Saturday morning at New Garage, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, claiming the life of one passenger and leaving nine others injured.
The crash, involving a Toyota commercial bus and an Iveco truck, was attributed to speeding and road obstruction. Victims were rushed to Ojota Emergency Centre and Gbagada General Hospital, while the deceased was deposited at a mortuary in Ibafo.
In a separate incident the same day, a 15-year-old girl was killed by a hit-and-run driver while attempting to cross the expressway near Muslim Under Bridge in Ibadan. The driver fled the scene as residents decried the dangers of reckless driving on the busy route.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has urged motorists to exercise caution, especially as travel increases during the ember months.
