Five people were injured in a crash on the Ibadan-Lagos Expressway near Foursquare Camp on Monday at approximately 10:17 p.m. The collision involved a black CNHTC HOWO truck, registered TTD-145ZY and carrying iron rods, and an unregistered white Sinotruck transporting unidentified materials. Seven adult males were in the vehicles at the time of the accident. According to Odunsi Afolabi, Public Relations Officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Ogun Sector Command, the cause was speed violations and loss of control.
There were no fatalities. Five of the seven sustained varying degrees of injuries. Three were taken immediately to Victory Hospital, Ogere. The other two were trapped in the wreckage and rescued the following morning before being transported to the same hospital. The two trucks remain locked together and require heavy-duty cranes for separation. The Ibadan-Lagos lane is temporarily closed to allow for safe removal.
Lagos-bound traffic is being rerouted at Alapako Bridge to share the Lagos-Ibadan lane. FRSC personnel have created a corridor at the scene to reduce initial congestion, but delays are expected during the final recovery phase. Sector Commander Oludare Ogunjobi urged motorists to remain patient, follow traffic instructions, and consider alternative routes until the obstruction is cleared.
