A road traffic accident involving four vehicles has taken place in Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State; close to the main gate of Adekunle Ajasin University.
A petrol tanker that caused the crash was said to have lost control in motion and crashed into three other stationary vehicles, that caught up in flames immediately.
An eyewitness report indicated that shortly after the incident, there was a heavy downpour which helped to quench the flames.
The accident was said to have caused heavy traffic in the area, as the road leading to Ikare-Akoko was totally blocked.

A former chairman of the defunct Pension Reformed Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, has said he has no case to answer.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday closed its case after the ninth prosecution witness concluded her testimony in the N2bn money laundering trial of Maina at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Maina’s lawyer, Anayo Adibe, said his client, in the belief that the EFCC failed to make a prima facie case warranting him to put up a defence, would file a no-case submission for the dismissal of the charges.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday closed its case after its ninth prosecution witness concluded her testimony in the N2bn money laundering trial of a former Chairman of the defunct Pension Reformed Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Maina told the court that he had no case to answer in the allegations levied against him by the EFCC.
Maina, who told Justice Okon Abang shortly after the EFCC, through its counsel, Farouk Abdullah, closed its case, said he would be filing a no-case submission.
Rouqayya Ibrahim, an EFCC investigator, who started testifying as the ninth prosecution witnesses on November 29, 2020, closed her evidence after she was cross-examined by Maina’s lawyer, Anayo Adibe, on Wednesday.
