8 Dead, 4 Injured in Oyo Ogbomosho Crash Last Night FRSC Confirms!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

A tragic road crash along the Oyo–Ogbomosho Expressway on Tuesday night has left at least eight people dead and four others critically injured, authorities have confirmed. [1]

“Nineteen persons were involved in the crash — eight died, four are receiving treatment at Oyo State General Hospital, and the rest sustained varying injuries,” said Mary Alo, the state Sector Commander of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC). [2]

What Happened

• The crash occurred near Emmanuel Alayande University of Education on the busy expressway late Tuesday. [2]
• A total of 19 people were travelling when the incident happened. Of these, eight were killed, four were rushed to hospital with critical injuries, while the remaining passengers sustained minor to moderate injuries. [1]
• The bodies of the deceased were deposited at the State Hospital morgue, and the injured are receiving medical care. [1] Broader Concerns:

Road Safety in Oyo
This tragedy adds to a growing list of fatal accidents on Oyo’s roads. Recent statistics show that road crashes remain a leading cause of death across the state, underlining persistent challenges with driver behaviour, speeding, night‑time travel, and road maintenance. [3]

What to Watch

• Investigation results to determine the cause of the crash — whether due to overspeeding, vehicle fault, or poor road conditions.
• FRSC and state government response — including any renewed enforcement of traffic laws, especially on expressways.
• Support and possible compensation for victims’ families; appeals for safer driving practices and stricter regulation of passenger transport.
