Tragedy struck on Wednesday morning along the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway when a speeding cement truck with faulty brakes rammed into four vehicles, killing three people and injuring six others.

The fatal crash, which occurred around 7:45am near the Sango-Ota tollgate, involved five vehicles, according to the Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE).

Confirming the incident, Adekunle Ajibade, TRACE South-West Area Commander, said the truck, which had no registration number, was heading toward the tollgate from Sango-Ota at high speed when its brakes failed.

He explained that the vehicle reportedly lost control and ploughed into four other vehicles in its path.

However, the six survivors suffered varying degrees of injuries in the crash.

“The bodies of the deceased have been deposited at Ifo General Hospital in Ogun State, where the injured are also receiving treatment,” he said.

He advised motorists to ensure their vehicles are roadworthy before setting out and warned against excessive speeding and reckless driving to avoid needless loss of lives.

Ajibade added that the vehicles involved in the accident had been cleared from the expressway to restore normal traffic flow in the area.
