He said the Sienna car was moving alongside the Rav 4 vehicle when one of the tyres of the Sienna vehicle bursted.
“It fell over the Rav 4 vehicle marked 6172 DLA resulting in the death of one of the occupants of the Sienna vehicle while six other passengers in both vehicles were injured,” the TRACE spokesman said.
Akinbiyi, however, urged drivers to shun speeding and the use of bad and second-hand tyres.
