FRSC: Six dead in road accident caused by brake failure in Osun
The Osun command of the Federal Road Safety Corps ( FRSC ) says six persons have been killed in an accident that occurred on the Imesi- Ile highway of the state.
In a statement on Sunday, Henry Benamesia, the sector commander, said the accident occurred at about 9:44pm on Saturday.
He said an articulated vehicle, without a number plate, collided with a commercial truck due to overspeeding and after one of them had a break failure.
Benamesia said 17 persons were in the vehicles and 11 were unhurt.
“We have five dead victims taken to University Teaching Hospital in Osun (UNIOSUN) by the Nigeria Police before the arrival of FRSC team,” he said.
“The last dead victim was trapped under the truck and we were able to use extricating machine to remove the trapped body from one of the vehicles.”
He charged motorists to drive carefully and ensure their vehicles are in perfect condition before embarking on a journey.
