An official of the Federal Road Safety Corps, who spoke on condition of anonymity for not being authorised to speak, told The PUNCH that at least four injured persons had been taken to a nearby hospital.

“Two children, one male and one female adult were involved,” he told our correspondent.

He said efforts were ongoing to ascertain further casualties and to remove the truck from the road.

The spokesperson for the Ogun sector of the FRSC, Florence Okpe, could not be immediately reached.

As of the time of filing this report, traffic has built up on the expressway en route Lagos.
