The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Oyo State has confirmed that two people lost their lives in a tragic road accident on the Ogbomoso-Ilorin Expressway on Tuesday.
Mayowa Odewo, the FRSC’s Sector Public Relations Officer, noted that a male adult, a female adult, and a male child were involved in the crash. While the male child was injured, the two adults did not survive.
The victims were immediately taken to Bowen Teaching Hospital in Ogbomoso for treatment. Odewo explained that the collision involved a commercial vehicle and a trailer.
The FRSC recovered N167,000 from the wrecked vehicles and handed over the body of the male adult to the Oke Owode Police Station.
The female adult succumbed to her injuries at the hospital, while the male child continues to receive medical care.
Odewo used the opportunity to warn drivers against speeding and improper parking, urging them to exercise caution to prevent accidents.
