A yet-to-be-identified man has lost his life in a lone motorcycle accident at Ibafo along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ogun State.
The spokesperson for the state Police Command, Omolola Odutola, disclosed this in a statement on Friday.
Odutola said an officer from Ibafo Divisional Police reported the incident on Thursday.
According to Odutola, the accident occurred specifically at the NNPC Filling Station, Ibafo, situated along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
“The crash involved a yellow Quic motorcycle, registration number unknown, and led to the immediate death of the rider, whose identity remains unknown.
“Preliminary investigations suggest the motorcyclist was travelling at high speed when he collided with a culvert near the fuel station.
“The collision caused the motorcycle to catch fire, resulting in it being completely burnt,” Odutola said.
The spokesperson said emergency responders, including officers from the Motor Traffic Police Unit, arrived swiftly to assess and manage the situation.
Odutola confirmed that the deceased’s body was transported to Real Divine Hospital Mortuary, Ibafo, while the burnt motorcycle was moved to the police station for further inspection by VIO.
