A container that had fallen from a truck at Mowe on the Lagos-Ibadan Motorway crushed three individuals to death.
On Saturday morning, February 17, 2024, the container fell from a vehicle bearing the license plate T-1563 LA, trapping the three victims who were reportedly riding in a Howo truck without a license plate.
In a statement, the Federal Road Safety Corps, Florence Okpe, Ogun State Sector Command, and others verified the occurrence and attributed its cause to reckless driving resulting in a loss of control.

Part of the statement said, "The FRSC personnel in Mowe conducted a rescue operation at approximately 0107 hours on the Lagos-Ibadan Motorway surrounding Mowe, involving two trucks—a HowoTruck without a number on it and a T-15636LA Bluebird—with registration numbers.
