Two persons were on Saturday confirmed dead in an accident involving a Volvo Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) and a Mack truck around Danco filling station on Lagos/Ibadan expressway.
Mr Babatunde Akinbiyi, Spokesperson, Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE), confirmed the incident in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Akinbiyi explained that the accident occurred around 6:11p.m., saying that the SUV, with registration number SGM 858 AA, which was on top speed, lost control and rammed into the stationary truck marked MUS 762 XD.
”The two occupants (male) in the Volvo Jeep died on the spot, even though it took the TRACE, FRSC and police team some time to retrieve their bodies because they were already trapped,” he said.
The TRACE spokesperson added that the corpses of the dead had been deposited at the morgue of Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH), Sagamu, Ogun State.
