A yet-to-be-identified truck driver has crushed a couple, Sola Olaniyan, his wife, Mojisola, and their 9 months old baby, Ogooluwa, to death on Ibadan Road, in the Ijebu-Ode area of Ogun State.
The incident happened yesterday at about 8pm.
The Public Relations Officer, Ogun State Traffic Compliance Corps, Babatunde Akinbiyi, who confirmed the incident, said that the truck driver attempted escaping but was apprehended by motorcyclists who chased after him.
He said, “The presumed dead family members have been taken to the General Hospital, Ijebu-Ode by TRACE officials and others. The fatal accident involved a hit-and-run truck driver, an Okada rider, a woman and her son on Ibadan Road, Ijebu-Ode, opposite the UBA.
“According to eyewitnesses at the scene, the truck was at high speed and it over-ran the nursing mother. The angry Okada riders and hoodlums took the hit-and-run driver to Igbeba Police Station after pursuing and catching up with him.
“The dead persons involved in the hit-and-run crash are members of the same family. The Okada rider was the father; the woman was his wife, while the minor was their child.”
