“Probable cause of crash is attributable to error in judgment by the deceased victim while attempting to cross the road as the articulated vehicle was approaching,’’ he said.
He said that the corpse of the deceased had been deposited at the State Specialist Hospital Adeoyo while the obstruction on the road had been duly cleared by FRSC personnel.
Onijala said that the driver of the vehicle was currently in the custody of the Oyo State Police Command at Eleyele, Ibadan.
