At least three people were reportedly killed in an accident at the main entrance of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), Ondo State, on Thursday.
The Akungba-Ikare road which passes by the school has come to be known as a death trap for road users in the area because of frequent accidents.
FIJ earlier reported why accidents occur regularly in the area. The state government confirmed its knowledge of the dangers users faced and lamented the failure of measures it put in place to stop accidents on the road.
In a video tweeted on Friday, some well-meaning passersby attempt to identify one of the accident victims and contact his family, but upon retrieving phone, they express concerns that they may be unable to unlock it.
This, FIJ understands, is the reason many accident victims do not get the help they need on time, and some end up dying.
Meanwhile, there is a feature on almost every phone that makes it possible to identify a user or contact their relatives in an emergency. But it is often ignored.
