Several commuters were injured on Monday morning after a Honda vehicle crashed into two commercial tricycles at the Federal Bus Stop along Ipaja Road in Lagos State.

The accident reportedly occurred around 8:50 a.m. and involved a Honda car with registration number KTU 921 JY.

Eyewitnesses said about 10 passengers sustained varying degrees of injuries during the collision.

According to reports from the scene, the female driver was allegedly speeding when she tried to avoid hitting a street sweeper working with the Lagos Waste Management Authority. Witnesses claimed the driver struck the sweeper before losing control of the car, which veered into the opposite lane and rammed into two commercial tricycles.

Some victims reportedly suffered serious injuries, while others escaped with minor wounds.

It was gathered that the injured passengers were initially rushed to a nearby private hospital for emergency treatment, while some were later transferred to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital for further medical attention.

Officials of the Nigeria Police Force from the Gowon Division, operatives of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, and neighbourhood security personnel were at the scene managing rescue operations and directing traffic.

Authorities had yet to issue an official statement on the incident as of the time of filing this report.
