The Ogun Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE) says three people have died while six others were injured in an accident which involved five vehicles on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.
Mr Adekunle Ajibade, the South-West Area Commander of TRACE, who confirmed the incident to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Ota, said that the accident happened at about 7:45 am.
Ajibade explained that a cement truck, with no registration number, heading to the toll-gate from Sango-Ota, was on top speed when it had a brake failure and rammed into four vehicles.
According to him, the six survivors sustained various degrees of injuries in the accident. (Guardian)
