12 people escaped death during an accident that occurred on Sunday in Lasia town, Odigbo Local Government Area of Ondo state.
Mr. Sikiru Alonge, the commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ore, Ondo State, confirmed the incident.
Alonge confirmed that six of the 12 victims sustained injuries in the accident.
He said the accident involved a Toyota Picnic space bus marked Ogun AKD 297 XD and a Toyota Camry salon car marked Lagos FKJ 852 BD.
“12 people, including six males, five females, and a child escaped death in a ghastly motor accident today, only six of them sustained injuries.
“That corridor of the road is narrow and that is why motorists must always exercise patience and avoid speeding which are the major causes of accidents, especially during the rainy season,” Alonge said.
He also warned motorists to ensure compliance with traffic rules and to be alive for their families.
He, however, said that the injured victims in the accident had been taken to Opeyemi Hospital, Ore, while the Police cleared the carcass of the vehicles from the accident scene.
No fewer than 13 people have died in eight accidents recorded on Lagos-Ore, Ore-Okitipupa, and Ore-Ondo expressways in the last three weeks.
