No fewer than three people were injured in a crash that happened at the Panseke area of Abeokuta South Local Government Area of Ogun State on Sunday.
According to The PUNCH, the three persons, which included a commercial motorcyclist and two passengers, sustained injuries on their palms and legs with visible wounds.
The crash occurred when a Lexus Jeep with number plate LND 561 HZ, allegedly overspeeding, collided with a commercial motorcycle, causing the three occupants of the motorcycle to sustain varying degrees of injuries.
One of the victims, who identified simply as Tife, claimed that the driver of the speeding vehicle had initially vowed to hit them, which he eventually did.
She said, “I had an altercation with the driver of the Lexus vehicle while leaving the premises of the eatery that I had gone to eat at with my friend, and he vowed to hit us with his vehicle. When we boarded the bike, he eventually did that.”
The driver of the commercial motorcycle, who does not want his name in print, also disclosed that he was not aware that the passengers he carried had already had an altercation with the Lexus driver, as he only realised that the vehicle was driving recklessly behind them and eventually hit him and the passengers.
He said, “I took these passengers from an eatery nearby, and while in the motion, I realised that the vehicle behind was speeding and swinging around, which I tried to avoid, but it eventually hit us. He has caused damage to my motorcycle and injured me and the passengers.”
