The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) has confirmed the death of a driver and a motor boy after two 40-ft container trucks were involved in a collision at Cele Bus Stop, inward Mile 2.
It was gathered that a moving truck rammed into a stationary truck from behind, reportedly due to over-speeding, resulting in the deaths of the driver and motor boy of the moving truck.
According to the LASEMA Permanent Secretary, Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, who confirmed the deaths, the victims remain trapped, while heavy-duty recovery equipment is en route.
Oke-Osanyintolu assured that traffic control measures have been put in place around the accident scene to prevent secondary incidents.
“First responders at the scene include the Eagle Response Team and Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), while Super Metro and SEHMU are expected for recovery and evacuation,” the Permanent Secretary added.
