Mob sets truck ablaze as driver kills three + Photo

Three persons have been confirmed dead on the spot in a fatal accident that occurred at a point on Kara Bridge in Ogun State on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The accident involved one IVECO Turbo truck and a Mitsubishi Canter, with both drivers yet to be identified.

Based on report, the Mitsubishi Canter driver suddenly lost control and rammed into the IVECO tipper truck from the rear, thereby killing three occupants of the Mitsubishi Canter.

The Eagle Online gathered that an irate mob, on receipt of the report, set the truck ablaze before the arrival of the Motor and Anti-Crime Units of the Ogun State Police Command to the scene.

Operatives of the Ogun State Fire Service were called in to put out fire and remove the corpses for release to their relatives.

Rough sketches and photographs were taken before the removal of involved vehicles to pave the way for a free flow of traffic.
