Two people were on Friday killed while one other was injured in an accident around the Idogo junction on Ilaro-Owode Yewa Road, Ogun State.

The accident reportedly involved a Mitsubishi car marked JJJ168JF and a truck with registration number, T12224LA.

The car, suspected to have been on top speed, was said to have crashed into the truck wrongfully packed on the road

The spokesperson of sector command, Florence Okpe, stated this in a statement made available on Friday.

The injured victims and the corpses were said to have been taken to a general hospital and Hosanna Hospital, Ilaro.

The statement partly read, “The FRSC Ilaro Unit Command carried out a rescue operation on the Ilaro-Owode route around Iyana Odogo on a crash that occurred at about 0600hrs. The crash involved two vehicles: a Mitsubishi car with registration number, JJJ854JH, and a truck, T12224LA.
