“A total of six persons were involved, four dead, while two others escaped unhurt,” she said.
Okpe stated that the suspected causes of the fatal crash were excessive speed and use of phone while driving, which led to loss of control on the part of the driver of the Lexus SUV, who rammed into a moving truck.
The bodies of the victims are said to have been deposited at the morgue of Real Divine Hospital, Ibafo.
The FRSC Sector Commander, Ogun Sector Command, Ahmed Umar, cautioned motorists on the dangers of using phones while driving.
