The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Ondo State Sector Command, has called for greater commitment to road safety and collective responsibility to prevent avoidable accidents.

The Sector Command made the call while joining the global community to commemorate the 2026 World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Crash Victims.

The event, themed “A Light That Unites Us,” provided an opportunity to remember those who lost their lives in road crashes, while drawing attention to the need to support survivors and families affected by road tragedies.

Speaking at the commemoration, the Ondo State Sector Commander, Samuel Ibitoye, described the occasion as a moment to honour crash victims and reflect on practical measures to make roads safer.

He noted that every human life was precious and must be protected from being cut short by preventable road accidents.

Ibitoye stressed that the theme underscored the importance of preserving lives and ensuring that road safety remained a shared responsibility.

Also speaking, the State Coordinator of Special Marshals in Ondo State, Oladeji Adebayo, urged motorists and other road users to embrace patience, discipline and caution while using the roads.

He emphasised the need for collective efforts in promoting responsible road use and reducing crashes.

The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Crash Victims is observed annually to honour those who have lost their lives in road accidents, recognise survivors and acknowledge the families affected by road tragedies.
