Road Accident Claims 25 Lives In Ibadan See Pictures
Twenty five persons were feared dead on Tuesday morning in an accident along the Ojo-Iwo Road section of the Ibadan-Lagos expressway, near the Agbowo/Ajao area.
The accident occurred when a trailer loaded with roofing sheets collided with an 18-seater hummer bus, a Micra taxi, and a Honda CR-V car.
According to eyewitness reports at the scene, tracknews.ng reports that the trailer involved in the accident experienced brake failure, causing it to collide with three other vehicles traveling in the same direction, resulting in a devastating crash.
Narrating the incident to TrackNews Media , Mr. Emmanuel Omotoso and Mrs Funmi Adejumo, said the ongoing construction of the Lagos -Ibadan express way could be responsible for the fatality as the other lane of the expressway was blocked.
However, the motorists appealed to Oyo State government to purchase heavy towing vehicles and ambulance buses for rescue operation in case of emergency situation like it just occurred.
They equally called on the contractor handling the road construction to open up the other lane that was blocked to prevent future occurrence of accident that claims many lives every day on Ojo-Iwo Road expressway.
As of press time, private heavy towing vehicles were instrumental in removing trapped vehicles from the scene, and some of the rescued passengers were transported to the hospital for medical attention.
