One Dead in Fatal Crash on Ibadan-Lagos Expressway
A tragic road accident claimed the life of an unidentified man on Tuesday along the Ibadan-Lagos Expressway, near the Soka area in Oyo State. The crash, which occurred in the early hours of the day, involved a Toyota Camry with Lagos registration number, according to eyewitness accounts. The vehicle reportedly hit a roadside culvert and subsequently crashed into a stationary trailer, which had been abandoned at the same spot following another fatal accident that claimed over ten lives last week. “The driver of the Camry died on the spot,” an eyewitness told reporters, confirming the severity of the impact. Another witness noted the trailer had not been removed despite last week’s tragedy, raising concerns about ongoing road safety in the area. Authorities are yet to confirm the official cause of the crash as investigations are ongoing. Road users have appealed to the government to clear accident debris and enforce stricter safety regulations on the highway.
