Ogun FRSC confirmed one died in a road accident involving a fuel tanker
and a bus in Sagamu on Saturday morning.
Sector Commander of the commission in the state, Adegoke Adetunji noted
that no fewer than 11 people sustained various degrees of injuries.
An eyewitness told the VANGUARD that the tanker, loaded with petrol had
a mechanical problem and stopped on the road, while the bus and truck rammed
into it resulting in explosion.
He explained that the tanker caught fire in the process and other two
vehicles were burnt, adding that the dead and the injured had been taken to a
hospital.
“We can’t even give you the number plates of the affected vehicles
because, by the time we got there, they were all burnt beyond recognition,’’ he
said.
Adetunji pointed out that over speeding and recklessness must have
caused the accident.
He, however, advised motorists to avoid excess speed while driving and
to always be at alert.
