New Year tragedy: Accident claims lives of 2 children on Lagos-Ibadan expressway
Two children died in a lone accident involving a Toyota car on New Year’s Day at the Ade Best axis, Isara, on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
The incident was confirmed by Mrs Florence Okpe, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) spokesperson in Ogun State.
The spokesperson reported that the accident, which occurred at approximately 8 am, was attributed to excessive speed and subsequent loss of control.
The Toyota car, registered as TTD 985 AA, veered off the road, crashing into a ditch due to the speed-induced loss of control.
The vehicle carried five individuals at the time of the accident: three children, a man, and a woman. Tragically, the crash claimed the lives of two of the children, while the remaining three occupants suffered injuries.
“One Toyota car was with registration number TTD 985 AA. The suspected cause of the lone crash was excessive speed, and the vehicle suddenly lost control and ran into a ditch.
“The injured victims were taken to Victory Hospital, Ogere, for medical attention, while the deceased bodies were deposited at Isara General Hospital morgue,” she said.
