From what he said, the tragic incident that happened around 7:40 am was reportedly caused by reckless driving, brake failure and excessive speeding on the part of a non-registered motorcycle.

The bike fell across the road and the 2 passengers on it were crushed to death by a truck that was coming from behind as at the time. The rider of the motorcycle escaped death as he only sustained injuries from the accident.
Akinbiyi revealed that 6 people were involved in this accident, with 1 injured, while 2 people lost their lives.
