FOUR persons met their untimely death while eight others were injured in an accident involving a Mazda bus and a truck at Lufwape along Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
Mr Ahmed Umar, the Sector Commander, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ogun, confirmed the incident to newsmen in Abeokuta on Sunday.
Umar noted that the incident occurred at 3:40 pm due to over speeding on the part of the truck driver.
“Out of the 20 accident victims, 2 female and 2 male passengers died while eight men and six women sustained injuries.
