A Monday night collision on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway claimed the life of one male passenger and left three others injured after a Mazda bus struck a reversing truck at the Danco section.

Babatunde Akinbiyi, spokesperson for the Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency (TRACE), confirmed the details in a Tuesday traffic update.

Eyewitness accounts indicate that an unidentified truck reversed onto the expressway, prompting the speeding bus to crash into its rear before the truck fled the scene.

While emergency responders rushed the three wounded passengers to a nearby hospital, medical personnel transferred the deceased victim to the mortuary at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital.

Officers from TRACE and the Federal Road Safety Corps swiftly cleared the wrecked vehicle from the road, restoring a normal flow of traffic along the Lagos-bound corridor.
