A motorcyclist and his passenger were on Monday crushed to death in
an accident involving a truck and a motorcycle on the Lagos-Ibadan
Expressway.
My Babatunde Akinbiyi, the Public Relations Officer of Traffic
Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE), who confirmed the incident to
the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abeokuta, said the incident happened
close to a Connoil filling station on the highway.
Akinbiyi said that the accident, which occurred at about 6:20 pm,
was as a result of excessive speed and loss of control on the part of
the driver of the truck with registration number JJJ 472 XP.
“The truck had hit the motorcycle with no registration number
from the back, killing the motorcyclist and his passenger on the spot,” he said.
Akinbiyi added that the truck driver survived the accident while
the corpses of the deceased were deposited at the morgue of Olabisi
Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu.
“TRACE is using this opportunity again to admonish drivers,
particularly drivers of articulated vehicles, to avoid excessive speed
and give consideration to other road users for the safety of all,” he said.
