The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) says that a truck laden with yams reportedly lost control and rammed into a stationary tricycle.
The crash resulted in the death of one person and injury of three other occupants.
The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr Olalekan Bakare-Oki, who disclosed this in a statement said the fatal road traffic collision occurred at Aiyetoro Junction by the traffic light corridor in Epe, Lagos.
“Preliminary findings reveal that the loaded truck (AGL 764 XB) coming from Ijebu-Ode, attempted a U-turn inward Eleko at the junction when the driver reportedly lost control and violently rammed into a stationary tricycle (SMK 127 QR).
“The devastating impact claimed one life and left three other occupants with severe injuries,” he said.
He said that LASTMA officials, in concert with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), the Nigeria Police Force, the Lagos Fire and Rescue Service, and military personnel, successfully extricated three critically injured victims from the mangled wreckage.
Bakare-Oki said that the FRSC conveyed the deceased and the injured victims to the General Hospital, Epe, for medical attention and necessary procedures.
The LASTMAS urged security authorities to undertake a comprehensive investigation into the underlying cause of the accident, with a view to ensuring that any individual found culpable faced the appropriate legal consequences.
