The Spokesperson, Ogun Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps, TRACE, Mr Babatunde Akinbiyi, confirmed the incident to newsmen in Abeokuta.<\/p>\n

According to him, the incident occurred at 1:20am and it involved a blue Iveco truck marked AAB 414 ZY and a white Toyota Cabster with registration number XUR 601 XY.<\/p>\n

He noted that the accident was caused by excessive speed and brake failure on the part of the Toyota Cabster, which rammed into the broken down truck.<\/p>\n

Akinbiyi stated that the truck was set ablaze by hoodlums who believed the accident was caused by the truck driver.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took the intervention of TRACE, police and the Ogun State Fire Service before normalcy could be restored on the Kara bridge for incoming vehicles inbound Lagos at that hour,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said that five people were involved in the accident, saying three died while two others were unhurt.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolice and Ogun State Fire Service were contacted and the deceased were taken away by their families,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
