The Ogun Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE) says a ‘hit and run’ car driver knocked down and killed a commercial motorcyclist at Ojuola Filling Station on Owode-Ijako, Ogun.
Mrs Temitope Oseni, Owode-Ijako Unit Commander, TRACE, said that the incident happened at 6.30 a.m. on Tuesday.
Oseni said that the accident was caused by excessive speeding on the part of the car driver.
She said the motorcyclist was riding a Boxer Bike with registration number, MEK 500 WZ.
“The corpse of the victims has been taken away by the family members for burial,’’ she said, adding that the motorcycle had been towed off the road by TRACE operatives to restore free flow of traffic.
Oseni advised motorists and motorcyclists to drive carefully and exercise patience to avoid loss of lives and property to accidents.
