No fewer than three persons on Wednesday lost their lives, while three others sustained injuries in a road crash along Sagamu-Benin Expressway.
The Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency (TRACE) spokesman, Mr Babatunde Akinbiyi, confirmed the incident in a statement made available to newsmen in Abeokuta.
Akinbiyi said the crash occurred at about 5:00 a.m. near Babcock Junction in Ikenne Local Government Area of Ogun.
He said the crash involved a white Mercedes-Benz truck with registration number LG 59 BLF and a yellow crane without a registration number.
He said that preliminary investigation indicated that the crane was travelling against traffic at excessive speed, which resulted to a head-on collision with the oncoming Benz truck.
