Three persons have been confirmed dead, while three others sustained various degrees of injuries in an accident along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway on Monday night.

The Sector Commander, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Clement Oladele, who confirmed the incident to newsmen in Abeokuta on Tuesday stated that the accident occurred around 8:10 p.m was caused by route violation, saying that the driver of the bus drove against traffic around construction zone and had a head-on collision with the truck.

“The crash involved two vehicles, a blue coloured Iveco truck with registration number LSR 908 XF and a white coloured Toyota Hiace bus with registration number FST 96 XF.

“The suspected cause of the crash was route violation (driving against traffic) around the construction zone, considering too that it was even dark at night,” he said.

The sector commander urged motorists to drive cautiously especially around construction zones and resist the urge to drive against traffic for whatever reason.
