Two persons yesterday sustained varying degrees of injuries when a truck, while attempting to overtake on the Abeokuta-Lagos Expressway, crashed into other moving vehicles.

The crash involved an IVECO truck with registration number WDE 483 XB, a M.A.N truck with registration number T 13532 LA, an OPEL Safari car with registration number FST 957 JJ, and a MITSUBISHI Space Wagon with registration number KJA 933 HR.

The spokesperson of the Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE), Babatunde Akinbiyi, confirmed this to newsmen in a statement in Abeokuta on Wednesday.

Akinbiyi said that the multiple accidents involved 17 passengers (12 male adults and 5 female adults), and while two persons sustained injuries, nobody died in the auto crash. He said that the injured persons had been taken to the hospital for medical attention.

It was recalled that 15 persons sustained varying degrees of injuries in a multiple auto crash that occurred on 17 November at Omoyele Junction on the Sagamu-Ikorodu Expressway in Ogun State.

The crash involved an unregistered Mack truck, a Toyota Highlander with the registration number AKD 29 JZ, a Suzuki mini bus (korope) and a motorcycle.

Akinbiyi said that 15 persons (12 male and 3 female adults) sustained injuries from the accident due to excessive speed on the part of the truck driver, who lost control of the brakes of the vehicle and rammed into the Toyota, Korope and the motorcycle.

He said that the operatives of TRACE and the Police were on the ground for rescue operations as the accident vehicles were towed away while free flow of traffic had returned to the road.
