The accident occurred on Iju Bridge on Ota-Idiroko Road.<\/p>\n
The FRSC spokesperson in Ogun, Florence Okpe, confirmed the accident to journalists on Saturday in Ota.<\/p>\n
She said that the accident happened about 8:05 a.m.<\/p>\n
Ms Okpe listed the three vehicles as Mazda with registration number AAA 729 AY, a Toyota Hiace marked LND 85 DA and a Sino truck with no registration number as well as a Bajaj tricycle marked TTN 58VND.<\/p>\n
She said that 32 people comprising 12 male adults and 20 female adults were involved in the crash.<\/p>\n
Ms Okpe added that of the 32 persons, six male adults and 11 female adults sustained various degrees of injuries.<\/p>\n

Ms Okpe said that the truck then rammed into the other two vehicles and the tricycle.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe survivors were taken to the Ota General Hospital for medical attention,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
