Tragedy struck on Tuesday morning along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway in Oyo State, as a fatal accident claimed the lives of over ten people.
The incident, which occurred near the Iwo Road axis, involved three commercial Nissan Micra taxis and three articulated vehicles.
Eyewitnesses say the vehicles were all heading in the same direction when the collision occurred, resulting in a devastating pile-up.
The exact cause of the crash remains unclear, but early reports suggest a possible brake failure or reckless driving could have contributed.
Emergency response teams and sympathizers rushed to the scene, working tirelessly to pull out mutilated bodies trapped in the mangled wreckage.
The scene was described as horrific, with several passengers critically injured and others unrecognizable due to the impact.
Officials from the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and other emergency services have cordoned off the area, while efforts to rescue survivors and clear the debris continue.
Authorities have urged motorists to exercise caution and adhere to road safety regulations, especially during the rainy season.
Further details are expected as investigations unfold.
