One person has died in an auto crash that occurred yesterday along around old Sagamu toll gate along Sagamu-Benin express way.

One other person also sustained varying degrees of injuries from accident.

Vehicles involved are: a white colour Sino Truck with no registration number; Daf truck with registration number TRE; a Green colour Mack Truck with no registration number.

Spokesperson of the Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE), Babatunde Akinbiyi, confirmed this to newsmen in a statement in Abeokuta, yesterday.

Akinbiyi said that the crash, which occurred at about 0450hrs involved six persons (all males), where one person died and the one other sustained injuries.

He said that the accident occurred when the driver of the Sienna bus drove against traffic and attempted to wave down an oncoming truck, causing the bus to lose control and ram into vehicles parked at the station.

Akinbiyi noted that the presumed dead and injured one has taken away by FRSC before our arrival.

He added that traffic was diverted for easier removal of accident vehicles which was later towed to police MTD Sagamu making the road now free for passage.
