209 ViewsThe Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, has confirmed that one person died while two others sustained injuries in a road accident along Ikorodu Road, Lagos. According to a statement issued on Tuesday by LASTMA spokesperson, Taofiq Adebayo, the incident occurred at the Idi-Iroko inward Ogolonto axis when a fully loaded commercial Mazda bus collided with a speeding articulated truck. Preliminary investigations revealed that the Mazda bus, with registration number LND 490 SD, was recklessly competing for right of way when it crashed into the truck, registered as EKY 121 YJ. “One passenger, who was seated at the doorway of the bus, was flung out of the vehicle and unfortunately crushed under the rear tyres of the truck,” Adebayo disclosed. He added that two other passengers, a man and a woman, sustained serious injuries and were rushed by ambulance to Ikorodu General Hospital for urgent medical attention. Police officers on the scene handed over the deceased’s remains to the victim’s family, while the damaged vehicles were promptly removed to restore free traffic flow. Adebayo expressed condolences to the family of the deceased and advised motorists to avoid reckless driving on Lagos roads. “This sad incident could have been avoided if traffic rules were obeyed. LASTMA will continue to educate, caution, and where necessary, sanction reckless drivers. We urge all road users to put safety first,” he said.
