On Monday, a truck driver on Lagos’ Ojuelegba Bridge lost his life after becoming trapped in an accident with two other trucks.
But his assistant made a clean escape.
Dr. Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, made the official statement.
“A LASEMA Response Team encountered multiple accidents which involved three articulated trucks on Ojuelegba Bridge at 1.37 a.m. while returning from a recovery operation in the Ijora axis of Lagos.
“The accident involved two trucks laden with sand and a third one laden with chicken feed.
“The lead truck, laden with sand, reportedly suffered a mechanical error in motion, which resulted in a sudden halt of movement.
“The two other trucks, speeding from the rear, rammed into the first truck, trapping the deceased,’’ he stated.
Oke-Osanyintolu added that the corpse had been extricated and taken to a morgue.
“All affected vehicles have been recovered off the bridge to the LASTMA office at Iponri, Surulere.
“The Ojuelegba Bridge has been re-opened for safe and easy vehicular movement,’’ he stated.
