According to a reliable source, the accident occurred recently at the Oke-Maria axis of Oka-Akoko,  which led to the deaths of travelers  and had some vehicles burnt. The cash was presented to the survivors of the accident and the families of the deceased. The new Sector Commander of the Ondo state  FRSC, Commander Rotimi Adeleye, who was represented by the  Ikare Unit Commander, Jimoh Basiru, recalled that some market women  heading to Ibadan from the north  were involved in the accident.

The  FRSC will according to him  not condone situation where money and belongings of accident victims are tampered with by anybody.
