A couple and another man lost their lives in a tragic accident on Sunday, October 13, 2024, along the Sagamu-Ogijo road in Ogun State.
The crash involved a Foton truck with registration number EKY 778 XM, a space wagon car, and a Bajaj motorcycle.
According to SP Omolola Odutola, the spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command, the accident was caused by the alleged recklessness of the truck driver.
The driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle, colliding with a motorcycle and a space wagon car.
The motorcycle was ridden by 25-year-old Moses Ekpolo and his 19-year-old wife, Josephine, while the car was driven by Wahab Ogunyemi.
The impact from the truck forced the motorcycle into the space wagon, leaving all three individuals—Moses, Josephine, and Kolawole Moshood, a passenger in the car—with fatal injuries.
They were rushed to Idera Private Hospital in Sagamu but were pronounced dead on arrival. Their bodies have since been transferred to Idera Mortuary.
SP Odutola advised drivers, especially those operating heavy vehicles, to drive cautiously and urged road users to maintain safe distances from articulated vehicles.
