Two persons yesterday lost their lives in Akure, the Ondo State capital, in an accident involving two commercial motorcycles known as Okada. The accident which occurred around Araromi Street in Akure was caused by recklessness of the motorcyclists colliding with one another while on high speed. Saturday Mirror gathered that the motorcycle carrying three passengers lost control after colliding with another motorcycle, throwing away its passengers. Two of the passengers were said to be unlucky as an oncoming trailer lorry ran over them and leaving them dead on the spot.

According to an eye witness, the accident could have been avoided had the motorcyclists not been reckless. According to the eye witness, “the two motorcyclists’ recklessness contributed to the accident. The passengers fell from the Okada due to the impact of the collision and were unlucky as the oncoming vehicle crushed them on the head ripping their brain open. The third passenger was only lucky but he sustained a high degree of injury but has been taken to the general hospital for treatment,” he said. He said the oncoming lorry with registration number ONDO KA 737 FFN tried to swerve off the road to avoid crushing the passengers but they were flung towards the lorry.
The eye witness said none of the Okada rider was injured in the accident, but said they have been taken to a nearby clinic for first aid treatment. The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) official who visited the scene of the accident later took the corpse of the victims to the mortuary at the state General Hospital in Akure
