“One male adult was injured while one male adult and one female adult were recorded dead from the crash,” Okpe explained.

 

She blamed the crash on wrongful overtaking and speeding on the part of the truck driver, which led to collision on one of the bikes.

 

This, Okpe said, also led to a crash on the Volkswagen vehicle and the other motorcycle.

 

She said the dead victims had been deposited at the Ifo General Hospital morgue.

 

Okpe stated that the Ogun FRSC Sector Commander, Anthony Uga, had cautioned motorists to always drive carefully by considering other vehicles on the road.
