According to reports, the incident happened as the driver, the sole person on board the bus carrying the sacks of potatoes, was travelling to Lagos.

Babatunde Akinbiyi, the Public Relations Officer of the Ogun State Traffic Enforcement and Compliance Agency, confirmed the accident in a statement to reporters, stating that excessive speed and potential exhaustion were the causes.

After being stuck in the debris until he was finally freed, the driver passed away instantly.In addition to offering his condolences to the family of the deceased, Akinbiyi stressed the risks of speeding and exhaustion on the road and advised drivers to use caution, particularly at night. "As these lead to preventable road fatalities, we once again urge drivers to refrain from nighttime travel and excessive speeding," he stated. The tragic collision emphasises how important it is to raise awareness of and enforce traffic safety laws, especially on busy thoroughfares like the Lagos-Ibadan Motorway.
