Two persons died on Friday in a motor accident which occurred on Ore-Ondo Expressway, in Ajue Town, Odigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State.

Mr. Sikiru Alonge, the Unit Commander, Federal Road Safety Corps, (FRSC), Ore Unit Command, confirmed the accident to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ore.

He said that seven persons, comprising two female and five male, in three vehicles, were involved in the accident.

The unit commander listed the vehicles as a Toyota Previa bus, a Toyota Hiace bus and a Toyota Dyna van.

Alonge said a female died immediately, while another male died later in the accident which occurred due to over speeding and head-on collision.

“We always educate drivers against over speeding and impatience, the education is to avert crashes, save lives and property.

“The Ore-Ondo road is very narrow, and that is the reason for motorists in that corridor to always exercise patience, concentrate and maintain normal speed limit,” he said.
