Omolola Odutola, a spokesman for the state police, stated that the collision involved a Toyota with registration number JJJ926YJ and a granite-loaded truck with license plate FKJ760XM.

She said that when the driver of the Toyota automobile lost control and crashed with the truck, both cars were headed from Ibadan towards Lagos.

Odutola claimed that the Toyota driver was locked in the car after the crash and that he was taken to a hospital, where attending physicians pronounced him dead.

Following his rescue from his precarious situation, he was transported to Idera Hospital located in Sagamu. Afterwards, the physician verified his demise. According to Odutola, two additional occupants in the Toyota also suffered injuries of differing severity.

Additionally, our correspondent was informed that the deceased’s body had been moved into the hospital mortuary.
