A young couple and a motorcyclist are killed in a tragic road accident in Ogun State

The fatal incident, which occurred around 9pm on Thursday, involved several vehicles, including a Foton truck (registration plate EKY 778 XM), a space truck (AM 299 AHD) and a Bajaj motorcycle (JGB 265 WG).

Omolola Odutola, spokesperson for the Ogun Police Command, gave details of the accident in a statement released on Sunday. She attributed the accident to the reckless behavior of the truck driver, who reportedly lost control of the vehicle and collided with the motorcycle from behind, causing it to crash into the spacecraft at the same time.

“The collision occurred near Lafarge Company on Sagamu-Ogijo Expressway. The truck driver, whose identity is currently unknown, veered out of his lane, leading to the tragic outcome.” Odutola explained. “Moses Ekpolo was riding his motorcycle with his wife Josephine when they were hit.”

Both victims and Moshood, a passenger in the spacecraft, sustained serious injuries and were immediately transported to Idera Private Hospital in Sagamu, where they were pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Their bodies have since been transferred to Idera Mortuary in Sagamu.

In light of the incident, Odutola strongly warned articulated truck drivers to adhere to safety regulations and urged all road users to maintain a safe distance from larger vehicles to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
