A devastating crash on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway has claimed six lives, with 23 others injured.
The accident occurred around the Foursquare Camp, involving a DAF CF 380 trailer with registration number SNA 287 XA.
According to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), the crash happened at about 11:27 am due to driver fatigue and speeding, leading to loss of control.
The FRSC's Public Relations Officer, Odunsin Afolabi, stated that rescue teams arrived at the scene within two minutes, and the injured and deceased were taken to Oreoluwa Hospital, GOFAMINT Camp, Ogunmakin, and Victory Hospital, Ogere.
Afolabi also warned against the practice of mixing cattle and passengers, citing difficulties in separating humans and goods during transit, which can lead to fatalities.
The FRSC urges motorists to regularly service their vehicles, maintain safe speeds, and observe road safety regulations to prevent such accidents.
