Monday, September 21, 2026 - A yet-to-be-identified
female passenger has been crushed to death by a truck after falling from the
motorcycle on the Agbara-Lusada Expressway in the Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government
Area of Ogun State.
According to eyewitness, identified as Kunle,
on Sunday that the crash occurred around 7pm on Saturday at Cashier Bus Stop
along the highway.
Kunle said the accident occurred while the
motorcycle was attempting to overtake the truck.
According to him, the woman fell from the
motorcycle and was crushed by the truck.
He said, “The accident involved a woman who
was a passenger on a motorcycle. The motorcycle tried to overtake the truck,
and in the process, the passenger, who was a woman, fell and was crushed by the
truck.”
The spokesperson for the Ogun State Traffic
Compliance and Enforcement Agency, Babatunde Akinbiyi, confirmed the incident
in a telephone conversation with our correspondent on Sunday.
Akinbiyi said the vehicles involved were a
white Howo truck with registration number T-34611LA and two motorcycles whose
registration numbers were not displayed.
According to him, eyewitnesses said the crash
occurred when one of the motorcycle riders allegedly attempted to overtake
wrongly, causing a female passenger to fall under the truck.
“The RTA/RTC was caused by wrong overtaking on
the part of the Okada rider, which led one of the Okada passengers to fall
under the truck, which claimed her life,” Akinbiyi said.
Akinbiyi said five people were involved in the
crash, comprising three males and two females, while two people, a male and a
female, sustained injuries.
He noted that the injured victims were taken
to a hospital by a good Samaritan before TRACE operatives arrived at the scene.
Akinbiyi added that the deceased’s remains had
been taken away by her family, while the truck was moved to police custody for
further investigation.
He said TRACE operatives and PAPA OSCAR responders attended to the incident and restored normal traffic flow along the expressway.
