A fuel-laden lorry on Friday rammed into a tricycle and killed the driver after the lorry driver swerved to avoid a Toyota Venza in the Oke Ado area of Ibadan.
The lorry driver was reportedly coming from the Malete end when he lost control while avoiding the Venza. The lorry crossed the median to the other side of the road and crashed into the tricycle.
The situation became chaotic as a fight broke out among different interest groups, while some individuals tried to apportion blame.
