In the early hours of Saturday near Mowe, three individuals lost their lives in a devastating accident on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

A tow truck and crane were summoned to alleviate traffic congestion by removing the affected vehicles and container. The FRSC emphasized the importance of defensive driving and adherence to traffic rules, urging motorists to anticipate the actions of others to prevent accidents on the road.
