One person has been confirmed dead and two others injured following a multiple-vehicle accident that occurred early Monday along the Tradefair–Agbara corridor in Lagos State.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Lagos Sector Command, confirmed the incident in a statement issued by Sector Commander Mr. Kehinde Hamzat.
According to Hamzat, the crash occurred at approximately 5:36 am near the Iyana Era Bus Stop.
“The unfortunate crash involved two vehicles; a blue Mack truck with registration number AKD 579 XM (commercial), and a silver Lexus saloon car with registration number LSR 545 JN (private).
“A total of five adult males were involved in the incident.
“Preliminary investigations by FRSC indicate that the crash was caused by Speed Violation (SPV) and Loss of Control (LOC), in spite of 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 statement said.
The FRSC sector commander noted that the agency’s emergency response team arrived at the scene just four minutes after the incident was reported and promptly took control of the situation.
He confirmed that the injured victims were quickly transported to Alimosho General Hospital for urgent medical treatment.
Extending his condolences to the family of the deceased, he also wished the injured victims a swift recovery.
Reaffirming the FRSC’s dedication to ensuring safer roads, he urged motorists to steer clear of speeding and remain fully attentive while driving.
