Five people were killed including the mother of the girl, while 13 others sustained various degrees of injury. According to him, Islamiya sustained multiple fractures from the auto crash and was taken to Victory Hospital, Ogere, Ogun, for an intensive treatment by the Ogere FRSC teams led by Mr Maxwell Lede.
