Three people lost their lives on Tuesday morning in Ogbomoso when a container-laden truck overturned and crushed a commercial tricycle at Takie Junction around 9:30 a.m.
According to eyewitness accounts, the accident occurred when the truck lost control while navigating a bend, causing its container to topple onto the tricycle, locally known as Keke Marwa. Tragically, the tricycle's rider and two female passengers were trapped beneath the container. Rescue teams later confirmed that all three victims had died.
Efforts are ongoing to remove the fallen container to restore normal traffic flow and prevent further accidents in the area. Authorities have urged motorists to exercise caution while approaching the affected section of the road.
