FOUR INJURED IN LAGOS-ABEOKUTA EXPRESSWAY ACCIDENT
Four people were reported to have suffered varying degrees of injury when a commercial bus lost control at the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway’s toll-gate area, according to the Ogun Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE).
Mr. Adekunle Ajibade, South-West Zonal Commander of TRACE, confirmed the accident to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Ota, Ogun.
Ajibade explained that the accident happened at about 9.15 a.m. when the commercial bus marked APP 427 YA lost control and hit the victims.
He said that the bus was coming from Sango-Ota, heading towards Tollgate, when it lost control and rammed into two persons on a motorcycle and two pedestrians that wanted to cross.
“The four victims sustained various degrees of injuries and they were taken to State Hospital, Ota for treatment, he said.
Ajibade advised motorists against dangerous driving and excessive speed to avoid unnecessary loss of life.
He also cautioned commercial motorcyclists against indiscriminate parking at the toll-gate area for the sake of picking up passengers and preventing incoming vehicles from ramming into them.
