No fewer than 10 persons reportedly died in an early morning multiple accident that occurred around Iwo Road, Sola, Ibadan–Lagos Expressway today.
Eye witnesses said the accident involved four Micra commercial cars, a Toyota Camry and four articulated vehicles (trailers).
It was learnt that one of the trailers collided with another one that was reversing onto the main road, resulting in other multiple collisions.
One of the Micra cars, fully loaded with passengers, was said to have been completely crushed, with the driver and three other occupants losing their lives.
Many other persons escaped death with varying degree of injuries.
Residents said Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) operatives intervened and took the remains of the deceased to unclosed morgues, while the injured were taken to different hospitals.
