Truck crushes woman to death on Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Ogun Command said a truck crushed a woman to death in the Dalemo area of the Lagos-Abeokuta Motorway on Thursday night.

Me Anthony Uga, Ogun Sector Commander of FRSC, who confirmed the incident to the newsmen on Friday in Ota, said the accident occurred at about 11:00 p.m.

Uga explained that a truck with registration number XA 354 WDP and two people were involved in the accident.

The sector commander said that the truck lost control due to excessive speeding and hit a female adult standing beside the road, resulting in the death of the victim.

”The corpse of the victim had been deposited at Ifo General Hospital, Ogun.”

The FRSC boss implored drivers against restless driving and to always conduct a routine check on their vehicles to ensure that the brake systems were functional before putting them on the road.

Uga, however, commiserated with the family of the deceased and prayed that God would grant them the fortitude to bear the loss.
