The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ogun state says one person has died while two others have been left with various degrees of injuries in an auto accident that involved two vehicles at the Toll-Gate, Sango-Ota, area on the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway.

Naija New understands that the accident occurred at about 12:45 am on Tuesday, April 23.

The accident involving five persons was said to have occurred after a MAN Dieseled Truck with registration number AAA-515 XM lost control due to break failure on the expressway while on its way to Lagos and rammed into a Mazda Spacewagon bus marked GGE-250 BB.
