LEADERSHIP gathered that the incident occurred at Oko-Olowo junction on Wednesday.

An eyewitness, Salaudeen Abiola, said the driver of the trailer with registration number DAT SGM396ZR, which was carrying cows, rammed into another trailer that was parked along the road.

He said a male victim believed to be the owner of the animals who sat with the driver in the front seat died on the spot.

“The other victims include people inside the stationary trailer and other traders and marketers around the place during the incident. It was a gory sight to behold,” he said.
