“Eight persons sustained injuries, including seven adult males and one adult female, while four adult males lost their lives in the crash,” he said.
Odunsi explained that preliminary investigation revealed that the accident was caused by a burst tyre and speed violation, which made the driver lose control of the vehicle.
He said the FRSC rescue operatives from the Mowe Unit Command arrived at the scene shortly after the incident and carried out rescue operations.
He added that the injured victims were taken to Famobis Hospital for medical treatment, while bodies of the dead were deposited at the Idera morgue.
