Fifty two people have been killed in 87 road accidents in Ogun State in two months.
The state Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Anthony Uga, disclosed this on Monday in Ota.
Uga said 264 persons were wounded in the crashes.
He blamed most of the accidents on speeding, dangerous and reckless driving and travelling at night among others.
“The FRSC wants to appeal to motorists to drive with caution and reduce their speed to avoid unnecessary loss of life.
“In addition, they should ensure that their wipers, brakes and other parts of their vehicles are functional to prevent road crashes, especially during this rainy season,” he said.
Uga also warned against one-way driving and wrongful overtaking, particularly at bends.
