Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A fatal road traffic accident occurred in the Onirin area of Ile-Ife on Wednesday morning, claiming one life and leaving another person injured.<\/p>\n

The incident involved a single commercial truck, which reportedly suffered a brake failure.<\/p>\n

According to a First Information Report from the office of the Osun Sector Commander, Corps Commander T.A. Sokunbi, the accident took place at approximately 8:45 am on the Gbongan-Ife route.<\/p>\n

Sokunbi revealed that emergency responders arrived at the scene within ten minutes of receiving the report.<\/p>\n

The vehicle involved was identified as a white Foltom truck with registration number T-7852LA, and the driver, Akeem Are Aderinsoye, was found without a valid driving licence at the time of the crash.<\/p>\n

\u201cPreliminary investigations suggest that the truck\u2019s brake system failed, leading to the single-vehicle accident,\u201d said Corps Commander Sokunbi.<\/p>\n

\u201cSadly, one male occupant was killed, while another sustained injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emergency services swiftly transported the injured victim to the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex, Ile-Ife, for treatment, and the body of the deceased was taken to the hospital mortuary.<\/p>\n

The Sector Commander reiterated the importance of vehicle maintenance and adherence to road safety regulations to prevent similar occurrences.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge all motorists to ensure their vehicles are in good working condition before setting out on any journey,\u201d Sokunbi stated.<\/p>\n

He also warned drivers against excessive speeding, adding that it remains a leading cause of road traffic accidents across the country.<\/p>\n

He noted that investigations into the exact circumstances of the crash are ongoing, with further updates to be provided as more information becomes available.<\/p>\n
