It was further learnt that the motorcyclist was riding against traffic before ramming into the incoming truck, which was heading towards Sagamu interchange.
The spokesman, Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE), Babatunde Akinbiyi, confirmed the incident to newsmen in Abeokuta.
“The motorcyclist rode against traffic from Redeemed to Mowe before he ran into the Mark truck which was on its legitimate lane heading towards Interchange,” he said.
Akinbiyi said the corpses had been deposited at Fakoya Private Morgue in Sagamu while the truck and the motorcycle had been taken into police custody.
He appealed to motorists and motorcyclists to avoid driving in directions prohibited by traffic particularly on expressway due to the high risk associated with it.
