SonAllah said: “The accident involved a Toyota Camry marked LND592GX, with one unregistered commercial motorcycle and one Suzuki mini-commercial bus marked 552XA.

“All the victims were taken to Aduloju Hospital Akungba by a police patrol team while the road was cleared and normal free flow of traffic was restored in conjunction with Nigerian Army, the police, and FRSC personnel.”

SonAllah enjoined motorists to shun excessive speeding and route violations within the town to avoid unnecessary crashes.

“We also recommend that speed breakers should be mounted on the road to forestall recurrent crashes on the road, especially on the particular road,” he added.
