One dead, three injured in Ondo auto crash: FRSC
One person died while three others sustained injuries in an accident on Sunday at Osoro junction in Ore, Ore- Benin expressway, Ondo State.
The accident occurred between a Toyota Land Cruiser SUV marked Lagos FKJ 535 HP, and a DAF truck marked Lagos KRD 422 XB.
Sikiru Alonge, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Unit Commander in Ore, confirmed the accident.
He said the land cruiser SUV driver lost control because of overspeeding and rammed into the stationary truck parked on the roadside.
He said one female adult died in the land cruiser, with three occupants, while two others sustained injuries, including the truck driver.
Mr Alonge said the corpse had been deposited at the morgue of Opeyemi Hospital in Ore, while those injured were also taken to the same hospital for treatment.
The FRSC boss, however, urged motorists to desist from speeding to save lives and properties and be alive for their families.
