The PRO said that the vehicles involved in the crash include a Mitsubishi Lancer with registration number AJW 465 AA, loaded with pepper, and a truck.

According to him, the Mitsubishi Lancer loaded with pepper rammed into a moving truck inbound Lagos from behind. He said that two of the three passengers on board, including the driver, lost their lives on the spot.

Akinbiyi said, “The cause of the accident cannot be immediately ascertained for now, because the only person that could have given a lead to that is the injured victim whose case is critical.

“For now, he can neither talk nor make any gesture that can give a lead.

“But we suspect it could be as a result of brake failure and loss of control due to over-speeding.”

Akinbiyi said that the injured victim has been rushed to a private hospital while the bodies of the dead have been deposited in another private mogue at Sagamu.
