At least four persons have lost their lives in a fatal auto crash in Osun State.

The mishap happened opposite Joseph Ayo Babalola University along the Osun-Ondo expressway on Sunday.

The state Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, confirmed the incident.

The State Sector Commander, Mr Taofeeq Sokumbi, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Osogbo, attributed the accident and loss of lives to excessive speeding on the part of the vehicles involved.

He admonished motorists against dangerous driving which could lead to loss of lives and property.

According to him, the accident is due to the recklessness of the driver, knowing fully the danger that lies ahead due to excessive speeding.

He said the injured persons had been taken to an undisclosed hospital for treatment with corpses of the dead victims deposited at a morgue.

Sokumbi, however, warned that the command would not hesitate to deal with any road offender violating the state’s safety laws
