“The motorcyclist lost control due to excessive speeding, hit a stationary bus parked by the roadside from the rear and fell under a moving truck, which was in motion,” Ajibade said.

The TRACE Commander stated that the corpse of the rider has been handed over to his family for burial while the injured was receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital.

Ajibade, however, advised motorcyclists to always use their crash helmets and desist from dangerous riding that could lead to accidents.
