Okpe said, the injured victims were taken to Idera Hospital, Sagamu for medical attention and the deceased were deposited at the Morgue of the same hospital.

She said the driver while travelling on high speed lost control of the wheels and rammed into a drainage by the roadside, killing two persons and injuring one.

She quoted the Sector Commander, Anthony Uga, to have advised motorists to consider this period of high vehicular movement and poor visibility due to weather conditions.

Uga reiterated speeding among motorists, saying that a “common sense speed limit is the best”.
