The accident occurred at Olorunshogo village on Kobape-Siun axis, along the expressway when a Nissan Primera suddenly lost control and rammed into a stationary Volvo truck from behind.

Commander Akinbiyi who confirmed the incident said the bodies of victims had been deposited at the General hospital, Ijaye, Abeokuta, the state capital.
