Auto Crashes Claim 31 Lives In Osun [See Photo]

Mr Muhammad Husaini, the Osun Sector Commander of the FRSC, said on Monday that 31 deaths were recorded from road traffic crashes in the state between June and July.

Husaini made this disclosure while speaking to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Osogbo.

He also said that

36 road traffic crashes occurred within the period under review while 279 persons were involved.

Husaini attributed the crashes to over speeding, poor condition of roads and failure by motorists to comply with road traffic rules and regulations.

“Some of the accidents recorded could have been avoided if the motorists were driving within the speed limit.

“Most of the roads are not in good condition and if drivers were observing the speed limit, they would have the advantage of avoiding ditches and potholes on the roads,” he said.

He, however, lauded the Osun government for redressing the situation through road construction and rehabilitation.

Husaini called on motorists to observe road safety rules, vowing that anyone caught violating the law would be apprehended and prosecuted (NAN)
