The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, Ogun Command, has confirmed that three persons died while one other was injured in an accident that involved a Lexus SUV and a Boxer bike along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Sunday.
The FRSC Sector Commander, Oludare Ogunjobi, confirmed the accident in a statement signed by the command’s spokesperson, Mr Odunsi Afolabi, in Abeokuta.
Afolabi explained that the accident that involved eight male adults happened at about at 1.04 p.m. on Sunday at Oniworo area on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
He added that the crash involved a blue Lexus SUV with registration no GGE 18 JV and a black Boxer bike with no registration number.
Afolabi said that three persons lost their lives in the crash while one other sustained various injuries.
“The corpses of the victims have been taken to FOS morgue, Ipara, while the survivors were taken to Victory Hospital, Ogere, for treatment,” he said.
