The accident left three persons dead and one with multiple injuries.

This accident around Toll-Gate on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway happened around 12:58 PM on Thursday, 19th December, 2019, and was caused by a brake failure on the part of the truck. The truck had then rammed into the motorcycle and the passengers that were alighting from the bike.
