Given the night driving condition, fatal crashes from overspeeding are predictable
The FRSC Official sympathized with families of the deceased and directed that they should contact the FRSC in Ogun State or the teaching hospital for more information about the unfortunate incident.
“It was a lone crash, and the cause was speed violation. We cleared the obstruction same night to allow free flow of traffic.
“Once again, we are emphasizing the need for motorists to drive cautiously within the recommended speed of 50km/h at construction sites. Passengers in vehicles driven recklessly should caution their driver, and where such driver refuses, they can call the FRSC toll-free number 122.”
