Eyewitnesses said the two injured victims were immediately rushed to the General Hospital, Ijebu-Ode, for medical attention. Tribune reported that the accident occurred after a gas cylinder carried by a passenger inside a tricycle was discovered to be leaking, while the tricycle was parked by a faulty vehicle having a radiator problem.
