Ajibade said the motor boy was rescued with the assistance of other traffic agencies like the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and the police.
He added that the driver of the truck was coming from the Sango-Ota axis and heading towards the toll-gate when he lost control due to brake failure.
“The driver tried to avert mishaps that could have claimed so many lives by plunging into the river.
