The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) has reported that two people narrowly escaped death on Tuesday when a commercial bus collided with a slow-moving articulated vehicle.
LASEMA Permanent Secretary, Dr. Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, told the News Agency of Nigeria that the victims suffered varying degrees of injuries.
The accident, which occurred around 4:45 a.m. at Ojota, Maryland, Lagos, was attributed to high speed leading to loss of control. Oke-Osanyintolu added that the agency’s Tiger Response Team from Alausa, Ikeja, conducted the rescue operation.
“Upon arrival at the incident scene, it was observed that a commercial bus, registration number APP 209XZ had rammed into an articulated vehicle with registration number T4845LA.
“The trapped two victims inside the bus were rescued and rushed to the hospital for medical attention as they sustained various degrees of injuries.
“Investigations revealed that the accident occurred as a result of the high speed the commercial bus was in, thereby ramming into the slow-moving truck from behind,” he said.
He said the incident which caused gridlock along the highway had been cleared and the road reopened for vehicular activities before rush hour traffic.
Oke-Osanyintolu advised motorists to always stick to traffic rules and regulations and drive safely to avoid road traffic crashes that could lead to loss of lives and property.
