Two persons were on Thursday crushed to death in an accident involving an Iveco truck, marked SRA 757 XA, and a Bajaj motorcycle, opposite Egba High School, Obantoko road, Abeokuta.
Mr Babatunde Akinbiyi, the spokesperson, Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE), confirmed the incident to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
Akinbiyi explained that the accident occurred when the motorcycle rider was overtaking the truck.
He noted that five people were involved in the accident but two persons, who were passengers on the motorcycle, died on the spot.
"Eyewitness confirmed that the motorcyclist overtook wrongly and rammed into a moving truck. The motorcycle and the truck were moving toward Obantoko, Moore junction.
