The
FRSC in Osun on Monday said 213 deaths were recorded from road
traffic crashes in the state between January and December 2013.
The
figure was disclosed by the state Sector Commander,
Mr Muhammed Husaini, in an interview with the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Osogbo.
According
to Husaini, 288 crashes occurred in the state within the period under review
while 1,341 persons were involved.
He
attributed the crashes to over speeding and the poor
condition of roads, adding that the state government was redressing
the situation through road construction and rehabilitation.
The
FRSC boss, however, called on motorists to observe road safety rules,
saying the commission was determined to secure lives on the roads.
He
vowed that any one caught violating road traffic rules would be apprehended and
prosecuted.
