Ogunyemi said, “A fatal road crash happened at Carpark-C along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on 16/04/2025 at about 22:05hrs.

“The driver of the Howo Truck was trying to make a turn, but due to impatience and excessive speed by the Mazda bus driver, he rammed into the truck.”

He added that five people were involved in the accident and that “two male adults died and two male adults were injured.”

The TRACE CG noted that the injured victims were rescued at the RCCG Hospital, while the bodies of the deceased were deposited at a morgue in Sagamu.
