At least four persons have been reported dead and one injured in a multiple road crash that occurred around Kara Bridge on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.




The crash, which happened at about 7:35 p.m. on Thursday, involved an Isuzu mini truck with registration number T1079L, a Toyota Camry with registration number EPE200GK, a Honda Accord, and a BUA trailer with no registration number.


Confirming the incident to DAILY POST on Friday, the spokesperson of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Ogun Sector Command, Florence Okpe, said the total number of people involved was yet to be ascertained.


Okpe attributed the cause of the crash to brake failure, which led to a loss of control and caused the vehicle to ram into a car from behind while in motion.


She stated, “The crash occurred at about 19:35 hours around Kara Bridge on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, involving four vehicles. The number of people involved has not yet been ascertained, but one person (a male adult) was injured, while four persons (one male adult and three female adults) were reported dead in the multiple crashes.”


Okpe disclosed that the injured victim was taken to AZ Zonecare Hospital, Magboro. The body of one of the deceased was deposited at Real Divine Hospital morgue in Ibafo, while the other three bodies were taken away by their families.
