The incident involved a Toyota Camry with Lagos registration number KRD 955 GJ, which collided with a stationary trailer that had been left behind from a previous accident at the same spot.
According to eyewitnesses, the driver of the Toyota Camry was driving at high speed when he lost control of the vehicle and hit a roadside culvert before crashing into the trailer. The impact was severe, and the driver died instantly. One eyewitness confirmed that the driver was already dead at the scene.
The Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Oyo State, Rosemary Alo, confirmed the accident and provided details of the incident.
