First of all I would like to Thank God for saving me..Cause
I witnessed this myself. Two persons have been confirmed dead in the road
traffic accident around Danko Village along Lagos-Ibadan expressway involving
three tankers and seven articulated vehicles.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) sector
commander in Ogun, Ayobami Omiyale said that the accident occurred at about
12:30 noon on Thursday.
According to him, 30 people were involved in
the accident that claimed two unidentified persons who were burnt beyond
recognition. The commander noted that five people were critically injured in
the accident that was caused by dangerous driving which subsequently led to the
fire outbreak from one of the articulated vehicles.
He said that the inferno was extinguished by
men of the fire service who were immediately contacted, adding that FRSC was
still trying to remove the burnt vehicles and controlling traffic to ease
congestion.
He also disclosed that, while the injured
were receiving treatment at nearby hospitals, the burnt bodies had been
deposited at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH), Sagamu.
