One overtook from the left, while the black car involved in the accident overtook from the right.“After we passed the junction a little, a Toyota Highlander was coming out from the junction. Because the black car was moving at high speed, the driver tried to avoid the Highlander but ended up hitting an okada rider carrying a female passenger.“The accident was very serious. The motorcyclist’s leg was badly broken, and he was bleeding profusely. The female passenger also sustained a severe leg injury and was lying unconscious on the ground,” he said.Related NewsTwo flee as police arrest suspect with pistol in OyoOyo abduction: Presidency slams Makinde over demand for UN probeOriire: When political characters trample long-awaited reliefAkintayo further disclosed that policemen stationed at a nearby checkpoint responded to the scene after receiving information about the crash and rushed the injured victims to a hospital.“Before the police arrived, the driver of the car fled the scene, abandoning the vehicle in the middle of the road. There were three people in the car, including the driver, but all of them ran away. I could not tell whether they were injured because they had already fled.“The injuries sustained by the okada rider and his passenger were very severe, and I fear they may not survive,” he added.When contacted by PUNCH Metro, the Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer told our correspondent that she could not immediately confirm the incident, explaining that she could not verify the caller’s identity or ascertain the specific accident being referred to.“I do not know you, and I would prefer to relate with someone I am sure of her identity,” the police spokesperson said.She added, “Besides, I do not know the particular incident you are referring to.”As of the time of filing this report, the identities and condition of the injured victims had yet to be confirmed, while the police had not issued an official statement on the crash.
