She said the cause of the accident was excessive speed and loss of control.
The injured individuals were taken to Alimosho General Hospital for treatment, while the body of the deceased, who remained trapped in the car, was transported to the Ijanikin Police Station.
The statement partly read, “Preliminary investigations by FRSC indicate that the crash was caused by speed violation and loss of control, despite the smooth condition of the road. The violent impact of the crash led to the death of one male adult, while two others sustained varying degrees of injuries.
“The emergency response team arrived at the scene within 4 minutes of the report and worked swiftly to manage the situation. Injured victims were immediately referred to Alimosho General Hospital for medical attention.
“In an effort to ensure public safety and prevent further chaos from the growing crowd at the scene, the Lexus vehicle with the deceased trapped inside was towed by an Ayab recovery truck to the Ijanikin Police Station. The Mack truck was also cleared off the road by the FRSC tow truck, restoring free flow of traffic.”
“The FRSC Lagos Sector Commander, Corps Commander, Kehinde Hamzat, expresses heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased and wishes the injured a speedy recovery. He reiterates the Corps’ commitment to road safety and calls on all motorists to avoid speeding and always maintain full control of their vehicles.”
