TRAGEDY struck on Sunday, May 7, 2023, after a Sport Utility Vehicle crushed a tricycle conveying a family of four along Isheri-Igando road in the Igando-Ikotun LCDA of Alimosho LGA.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the incident happened at the Idowu Egba end of the road around 7 am.
It was learnt that the driver of the SUV, who was heading towards the Igando area of the community, was at top speed when he lost control, skidded across the median and rammed into oncoming vehicles, including two commercial buses and a tricycle.
While the commercial buses were partially affected, one person on the tricycle died instantly.
Other occupants were critically injured and rushed to a nearby hospital.
The victims include the tricycle rider, a couple and their two children, who were said to be on their way to church.
This incident has added to the death toll recorded from road accidents in the Igando-Ikotun LCDA between January and May.
Two persons were, in February, confirmed dead in a fatal accident that happened at Unity Bus Stop along Isheri-Igando Road when a fast-moving vehicle lost control and rammed into a stationary PSP truck.
