He told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ota that the accident happened at about 4.55 a.m. at Toll-Gate, Sango-Ota.
Oguntoyinbo said that the auto crash occurred when the driver of a Toyota Hiace bus with registration number LND 723 XE, heading toward Toll-Gate from Iyana-Iyesi, Sango-Ota, lost control of the vehicle due to brake failure and in the process hit the road divider.

The unit commander advised drivers to always maintain speed limit and be cautious of their conduct when driving to avert road accidents.
He said that the vehicle has been towed away from the scene of the accident to prevent gridlock. (NAN)
