No fewer than four persons were confirmed dead while four others sustained injuries in a lone accident around Pipeline Junction, Ogere, Ogun State, on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Akinbiyi noted that the accident occurred at 4:30 am and it involved a Man Diesel truck marked TKP 653 XA conveying people and also loaded with tubers of yam. “I learnt the vehicle was coming from the North inbound Lagos and loaded with yams. “The truck lost control due to speeding and poor visibility; fell by its side with the yams and the vehicle fell on them,” he said. He advised motorists to maintain their vehicles, avoid speeding and night travels, if possible, especially now that the harmattan season is here, with poor visibility everywhere.
