The Federal Road Safety Corps has confirmed the tragic death of two adult males following a collision between a Lexus car and a motorcycle in the Leme area of Abeokuta, Ogun State.
A tragic traffic crash involving a high-speed vehicle and a commercial motorcycle in the Leme axis of Abeokuta, Ogun State, has claimed the lives of two adult males.
The incident was formally confirmed by the Ogun Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) through a public statement issued on Tuesday by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Afolabi Odunsi.
According to official reports, the fatal collision occurred at approximately 5:45 p.m. on Monday, involving a black Lexus car bearing registration number KJA 398 JR and a black TVS motorcycle registered as AYT 837 QU.
Preliminary investigations conducted by crash investigators revealed that excessive speed on the part of the involved motorists was the direct cause of the collision.
A total of six adult males were involved in the accident; while two occupants suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene, the remaining four individuals escaped entirely unhurt without recording any bodily injuries.
FRSC emergency rescue operatives arrived at the scene within five minutes of receiving a distress call, swiftly evacuating the victims, securing personal belongings—including a Tecno mobile phone and identification documents—and depositing the bodies of the deceased at the State Hospital mortuary in Ijaye.
Traffic management teams immediately cleared the resulting road obstruction to restore the free flow of vehicular movement along the busy corridor. Reacting to the tragic event, the FRSC Sector Commander in Ogun State, Mr. Oludare Ogunjobi, expressed deep condolences to the families of the victims while issuing a strong warning to drivers and motorcyclists against reckless driving behaviors.
Ogunjobi emphasized that excessive speed drastically reduces a driver’s reaction time and amplifies the severity of road accidents, reiterating the command’s dedication to enforcement, public sensitization, and rapid emergency response via the national toll-free line 122.
