The Ogun Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE) has said that a tipper, allegedly driving against traffic, on Wednesday, knocked to death a woman at Dalemo, on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.

Mr Adekunle Ajibade, the South-West Area Commander of TRACE, confirmed this in Ota.

Ajibade explained that the accident, which involved only a pedestrian (woman), occurred at 9.00 a.m., at Dalemo, inbound Sango, on the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway.

He said that the woman, who was crossing the expressway, was knocked to death by the tipper, which was driving against traffic.

He also advised the pedestrians to be vigilant and always look very well before crossing the road.

Ajibade said that the vehicle had been towed off the expressway to ease free flow of traffic.
