Explaining how that accidents occurred, the Public Relations Officer of the Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement (TRACE) Corps, Mr. Babatunde Akinbiyi, said the Peugeot bus driver, who was on his way from Abeokuta, was trying to dodge a pothole and lost control thus causing the vehicle to veer off the lane and rammed into oncoming vehicle.
This caused another oncoming vehicle which driver wanted to avoid ramming into the two vehicles to veer off his lane before the vehicle eventually crashed.
Akinbiyi, who said TRACE personnel and Federal Road Safety Corps, raced to the scene, added that the injured victims were rushed to the Onabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOTH), Sagamu.
