Abeokuta – 14-month-old baby and five unidentified adults on Tuesday died in a  fatal auto crash which  occurred at Alapako village on the Lagos- Ibadan expressway.

The Ogere Unit Commander of  the FRSC, Mr Abdulrahman Sadeeq, who confirmed the incident,  said four other persons were seriously injured in the crash which occurred at about 7:30 am.

Sadeeq  on phone said  that the victims were travelling in a white Mazda bus marked  Bayelsa  XC 239 YEN  heading  to Lagos from Kano.

The bus, according to him, skidded off  its lane and rammed into a ditch at the village.

While attributing the crash to over-speeding and dangerous driving, Sadeeq  said  a 12-month-old baby boy and three other male adults were injured.

The FRSC officials  said the victims  were  conveyed  to Olabisi  Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital in Sagamu.

He also said the FRSC  would work tirelessly to  ensure  that the accident did not cause a gridlock  on the highway. (NAN)
