Two persons lost their lives on Monday in a road crash involving a motorcycle and a Dongfeng Pickup truck at Koto-Ajala, inbound Owode, in Obafemi Owode local government area of Ogun State.
The Public Relations Officer of the Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps’ (TRACE), Mr Babatunde Akinbiyi, confirmed the incident in a statement issued in Abeokuta.
Akinbiyi said the incident occurred at about 10:32 a.m., involving a motorcycle with registration number FFF 689 HA and a Dongfeng Pickup truck with registration number GGE 200 KP.
According to him, eyewitnesses attributed the crash to excessive speed and loss of control by the motorcyclist while descending the Koto-Ajala axis.

Akinbiyi said two persons, a male and a female, died on the spot.
He added that officials of TRACE, the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, and other emergency responders participated in the rescue operation.
The TRACE spokesman said the bodies of the deceased had been evacuated by FRSC to Fakoya Hospital Morgue, in Sagamu.
