NIGERIA: FOUR persons have been killed and three others critically injured in an auto crash in Alakija village near Olodo along Abeokuta-Ibadan expressway.

Eyewitness told GatewayMail that the accident, which occurred around 10am on Thursday, involved a truck loaded with cement with registration number YKS 194 XA and a white Toyota Picnic passenger space car marked OYO BDJ 427 SX.

The Public Relations Officer of the Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency (TRACE), Babatunde Akinbiyi, confirmed the accident to journalists.

Akinbiyi explained that the driver of the Toyota car ran into the moving truck from the rear.
He stated that nine persons were involved and that the driver of the Toyota car including three passengers died on the spot.

The image maker added that three other passengers were critically wounded, while the driver of the truck and his motor boy, now at large, escaped unhurt.
Akinbiyi, however, said that the accident was caused due to over-speeding by the driver of the passengers’ space wagon car.
He said that the corpses of the victims had been deposited at the morgue of the State General Hospital in Ijaye, Abeokuta while those who sustained injuries were taken to a private hospital in Odeda town.
