Tragedy struck on Saturday morning when seven persons died in a multiple road crash along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway with four others sustaining injuries.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) confirmed the incident in a statement by the Route Commander and Chief Public Education Officer, Florence Okupe, on behalf of the Ogun state sector command in Abeokuta.
According to the statement, 15 people were involved in the accident, comprising 13 male adults and two females.
Of the total number, seven persons – six males and one female – were confirmed dead while three male adults and one female adult sustained varying degrees of injuries.
