A deadly accident claimed four lives and left several others injured on Tuesday morning along the Soka axis of the Ibadan-Lagos Expressway, involving multiple trailers and cars.
The crash, which occurred near an abandoned filling station at Soka, involved four trailers, four Micra taxis, and a Toyota Camry. Eyewitnesses said the accident began when a trailer attempted to reverse into the road from the disused station, causing another trailer behind it to crash into it. Three other trailers, following too closely, rammed into the wreckage, triggering a devastating chain reaction.
In the pile-up, four Micra taxis and one Camry car were badly hit. One Micra was reportedly crushed beyond recognition, killing the driver and three passengers on the spot.
Among the victims was a couple who had boarded the Micra just one stop away at Sanyo. The wife died instantly, while her husband, who was seated in the front seat, survived with minor injuries.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) confirmed the incident and said emergency responders quickly moved to evacuate the remains of the deceased. The injured passengers were taken to nearby hospitals for urgent medical care.
The Soka corridor of the expressway has now recorded six fatal accidents since the beginning of the year, raising concerns over the safety of motorists and the need for improved enforcement of traffic regulations in the area.
