“Further investigation revealed that the aforementioned articulated truck with an unknown registration number lost control while driving at top speed. It subsequently fell on its side and trapped three persons in the truck.
“The LASEMA responders sprang into action by extricating the victims with the aid of light rescue equipment. Two adult males were rescued, while an adult female, unfortunately, lost her life.
“The two casualties were taken to the nearest Trauma Centre for medical care. The remains of the deceased are being transported to the nearby morgue for processing,” Oke-Osanyintolu said.
