A devastating accident in Ogun State, Nigeria, resulted in the deaths of a grandmother and her granddaughter after a truck collided with their tricycle. The incident occurred early Friday in the Papalanto area, involving an Iveco Truck and a tricycle.
Babatunde Akinbiyi, spokesperson for the Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency (TRACE), reported that the truck driver was driving recklessly while attempting to overtake the tricycle. This dangerous maneuver caused the truck to drag the tricycle before running over it, leading to the immediate deaths of the two females onboard.
The truck driver fled the scene, and the bodies of the victims were later retrieved by their families. The tricycle driver was rescued and taken to a hospital by a passerby. The wrecked vehicles have been impounded at the Itori Divisional Police Command. TRACE has called on motorists to practice safe driving to avoid similar tragedies.
