Just In: Four Dead As Trailer Loses Control, Crushes Micra, Okadas In Ibadan

Four people lost their lives on Wednesday morning after an articulated lorry owned by a popular dairy company lost control and a Micra passenger car and three motorcycles in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, were crushed.

Nigerian Tribune reports that the incident, which happened at the Alesinloye roundabout on the ever-busy Dugbe road, occurred when the articulated vehicle, apparently due to brake failure, hit the Micra and the motorcycles heading towards Dugbe area of the city.

While three people died inside the Micra, one of the Okada riders also died on the spot.

As of the time of this report, the trailer, carcass of the crushed vehicle and the motorcycle were on the road while the remains of the dead were being moved to the morgues.
