The Ogun Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has revealed that four persons died in a road accident early on Saturday.

The accident reportedly occurred opposite Mountain Top University along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

According to Florence Okpe, the Spokesperson for road traffic watchdog in Ogun State, the crash involved a Lexus RX350 SUV with registration number KTU738HM and a Mack truck with registration number; T21024LA.

Six male adults in total were involved in the collision, of which four died and two were unharmed.
