A multiple vehicle crash on Sunday morning left 13 passengers injured on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
The accident happened at about 4:55 am at Car Park C, in Ogun State, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) confirmed.
The FRSC spokesperson in Ogun State, Florence Okpe, said 22 persons were involved in the crash, including 21 male adults and one female adult.
She added that the FRSC operatives responded swiftly to the scene and carried out rescue operations.
