A female National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member died on Monday in a road crash involving a motorcycle and an articulated truck near Agodi Gardens in Ibadan, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has confirmed.

Oyo Sector Commander, Corps Commander Kehinde Dahunsi, said the corps member was travelling on the motorcycle when the crash occurred. The rider sustained a fractured leg.

Dahunsi said rescue personnel took the injured rider to the University College Hospital, Ibadan, for treatment, while the corps member’s body was deposited at the State Hospital morgue.

“We recorded a traffic crash today around Agodi Gardens within the Ibadan metropolis. It involved a truck and a motorcycle carrying a corps member,” he said.

The corps member’s identity could not be established during the rescue operation, according to the sector commander.

The account did not establish the cause of the crash or attribute responsibility to either road user. It also did not provide an update on the motorcycle rider’s condition beyond the reported injury and hospital transfer.
