The Sector Commander, Oludare Ogunjobi, disclosed this in a statement issued on Monday in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, by the command’s Public Education Officer, Odunsi Afolabi.

Mr Ogunjobi said the fatal accident occurred on Sunday night, involving a gold Toyota vehicle with registration number GGE 722 KJ.

According to him, the vehicle somersaulted and plunged off the bridge, trapping all the occupants inside as the doors reportedly locked.

He said personnel from the Itori Unit Command of the FRSC were immediately deployed to the scene for rescue operations.
