The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC ), Osun command, says no fewer than two persons died in an accident on Ife-Ondo road due to speeding and brake failure.
The sector commander, Henry Benamesia, confirmed this in a statement made available by the command’s spokesperson, Agnes Ogungbemi, on Sunday in Osogbo.
Mr Benamesia said the accident occurred in the Ifetedo area of Osun when a vehicle with the number plate BWR 909 SD suddenly lost control due to excessive speed.
He said that two persons lost their lives when the accident happened and their relatives took their remains away at the accident scene.
“The rescue operations retrieved 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,” Mr Benamesia said.
According to him, motorists should desist from excessive speeding that could lead to loss of lives and properties.
“I want to appeal to all road users to be safety conscious at all times and drive defensively to save lives,” he said.
