The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC ), Osun Command, says no fewer than two persons lost their lives in an accident that occurred on Ife-Ondo Road due to speeding and brake failure.
The Sector Commander, Mr Henry Benamesia, confirmed this in a statement made available by the command’s Spokesperson, Mrs Agnes Ogungbemi, on Sunday in Osogbo.
Benamesia said the accident occurred in the Ifetedo area of Osun when a vehicle with registration number BWR 909 SD suddenly lost control due to excessive speed.
He said that two persons lost their lives and their remains were taken away by their relatives present at the scene of the accident.
“The rescue operations retrieve a crashed vehicle that plunged into a river and handed it over to the Ifetedo Police Station.
“Other sister security agencies were also present during the operations to offer assistance in order to maintain law and order.
“I want to appeal to all road users to be safety conscious at all times and drive defensively to safe lives,” Benamesia said.
