A mother conveying her daughter to school in Ogun State drowned yesterday when the private vehicle she was driving skidded off the dual carriage bridge between Ososa and Odogbolu stretch of the Sagamu-Ore expressway and plunged into the river beneath.


Her daughter, a student of Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED), Ijagun, Ogun State, was, however, rescued from the water.

The Public Relations Officer, Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE), Babatunde Akinbiyi, said that the vehicle was coming from Lekki in Lagos and going to Ijebu-Ode, when the accident occurred.

Akinbiyi said mother and daughter were the only occupants of the vehicle.

The woman was conveying her daughter, who is a student of TASUED to school. She lost control of the vehicle and plunged into the river.

According to Akinbiyi, the vehicle has been evacuated from the river and moved to the Motor Traffic Division (MTD) of Odogbolu Divisional Police Headquarters, Odogbolu.
