The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Osun Command, said six persons lost their lives in an accident that occurred on the Imesi-Ile highway.
The Sector Commander, Henry Benamesia, said this in a statement by the command’s spokesperson, Agnes Ogungbemi, on Sunday in Osogbo.
Mr Benamesia said two vehicles had a head-on collision on Saturday at about 9:44 p.m. due to the brake failure of one of them, resulting in the death of six persons.
He said that an articulated vehicle without a number plate collided with a blue commercial truck on Imesi-Ile hill.
According to him, the accident involved 17 persons with 11 escaping unhurt while six others lost their lives.
He charged road users to drive defensively in order to prevent any form of accidents.
Mr Benamesia, however, advised drivers to drive with caution and ensure their vehicles were in perfect condition before embarking on any journey.
