Okpe also said one person was killed while another was injured in the second crash involving one Iveco truck and occurred at about 6:07 am on the Sagamu-Ijebu-Ode Expressway by the old Toll Gate Plaza.
The FRSC Spokesperson said that two people died in the third crash involving a Volkswagen bus and Bajaj motorcycle at about 7:20 pm along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway while the passenger who sustained injuries was taken to Supreme Global Hospital for medical care. She noted that the two vehicles were not registered.
The Command enjoined motorists to drive cautiously and exercise more restraints so as to avoid delay, panic and apprehension at the diversions made by the construction companies rehabilitating the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway may cause.
Okpe said the Command is, however, working with Julius Berger Nigeria, who will resume work today (Tuesday) and Reynolds Construction Company alongside other traffic and emergency agencies to mitigate the traffic experiences of motorists during this period.
