Separate accidents on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway claimed the lives of two people in the early hours of Tuesday.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) reports that the first collision, involving two adult males, happened at midnight close to Heyden Petrol Station.
One person died in the collision, but the second person walked away unharmed, according to Florence Okpe, the FRSC’s local spokeswoman in Ogun.
Okpe disclosed that the accident’s car was difficult to identify, raising the possibility of a hit-and-run incident.
The body of the deceased was taken to Idera mortuary in Sagamu.

The second accident took place around 04:25 am near the Toll gate on the Sagamu-Abeokuta route.
Okpe stated that a Mack tipper truck (JBD483ZY) was involved in the crash and appeared to be speeding, resulting in a loss of control.
“The probable cause of the solo accident was excessive speed, which led to loss of control and subsequent collision,” explained Okpe.
The crash involved two adult males, with one fatality and the other escaping unscathed.
The deceased’s body was also taken to Idera morgue in Sagamu.
In response to these accidents, Anthony Uga, the Ogun FRSC Sector Commander, described the crashes as avoidable if caution was exercised and basic traffic rules were followed.
Uga extended sympathies to the victims’ families and advised road users to prioritize safety while traveling.
