Tragic crash on Lagos-Ibadan expressway kills woman, injures seven others
A middle-aged woman, yet to be identified, has lost her life in an early morning road accident on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The crash also left at least seven other people with varying injuries.
The accident occurred near the Iwo Road end of the expressway and involved three vehicles. Sources say the crash may have been caused by a brake failure.
Officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) identified the vehicles involved as a red Nissan Micra with registration number MNY 539 XN, a white tanker truck, and a commercial Toyota Hiace bus with registration number BBS 863 XA.
It was gathered that the driver of one of the vehicles lost control, triggering multiple collisions.
The deceased, who was a passenger in the Nissan Micra, reportedly died at the scene, while other occupants of the vehicle sustained serious injuries.
Sources said the remains of the victim had been deposited at a morgue, while the injured were receiving treatment at a nearby hospital. The Nissan Micra was severely damaged in the crash.
The FRSC in Oyo State confirmed the incident.
The accident caused heavy traffic congestion, as motorists travelling towards Iwo Road from within and outside the state were stranded for hours before the wreckage was eventually cleared.
