The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has confirmed that 16 people died in a multi-vehicle accident on the Ojoo-Iwo Road section of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway on Tuesday.

Mr Mayowa Odewo, the FRSC Oyo State Sector Command spokesperson, informed the News Agency of Nigeria in Ibadan that 17 others were injured in the crash.

Two of the 35 people involved in the accident escaped without injuries. The group included 14 adult males, 10 adult females, six female children, and five male children.

Odewo explained that the accident involving four vehicles was caused by the brake failure of a Mack truck with registration number AKM 548 ZY. The other cars involved were a Nissan commercial bus (MUB 20 LG), a Nissan Micra taxi (BDJ 520 YC), and a private Honda Accord SUV (KRD 707 ER).

The 17 injured victims were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment, while the bodies of the deceased were handed over to the police.

“The accident vehicles have been taken to Irepodun Police Station, along Agbowo-Ojoo Road, by the police. Sadly, no victim was saved by seat belts or other defensive gadgets,” he said.

Odewo urged drivers to practice more cautious driving and ensure proper vehicle maintenance to prevent such tragic accidents in the future.
