Tragedy struck in Ogbomoso on Tuesday morning when a container-laden truck lost control and fell on a commercial tricycle at Takie Junction around 9:30 a.m., leaving three people dead on the spot.
An eyewitness told our reporter that the articulated vehicle lost control while navigating a bend, causing the container to topple and crush the tricycle, locally known as keke marwa.
It was gathered that two female passengers and the tricycle rider were trapped under the container. Rescue efforts later confirmed all three victims had died.
Meanwhile, efforts are underway to remove the container from the road to avert further accidents and restore traffic flow in the area. Authorities have urged motorists to exercise caution while approaching the affected section of the road.
