It is quite saddening that reports of road accidents are already rising in number despite the fact that the year 2021 is just beginning. A few days ago, the FRSC in Osun state confirmed that no fewer than 2 persons lost their lives in a recent ghastly accident involving a Toyota HiAce bus and a heavy-duty truck on Ipetu-Ijesha highway. Out of a total of 6 persons that were reportedly victims of the horrifying accident, only one person survived with no serious injuries.

Mrs Ibrahim’s report confirmed that 2 persons died at the scene of the accident while 3 others suffered serious injuries and were rushed to the Wesley Hospital in Ilesha for proper treatment. She also confirmed that the agency has deposited the corpses of the victims to a mortuary in Ilesha and the accident scene has been clear to restore free-flow of traffic.
