The FRSC spokesperson said 18 people — 16 men and two women — were involved in the accident.
Okpe said the injured victims were taken to Idera Hospital, Sagamu, for medical attention and the deceased were deposited at the morgue of the same hospital.
The FRSC spokesperson said the sector commander, Anthony Uga, has urged motorists to drive safely during this period due to high vehicular movement and poor visibility caused by weather conditions.
