A tragic accident on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway has claimed the lives of three family members, leaving at least two others injured.
The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) confirmed that three vehicles were involved in the collision, which occurred near the Secretariat, heading toward the Otedola Bridge.
According to LASTMA’s statement on X, “Three vehicles were involved in the collision, resulting in three fatalities and several serious injuries.”
Emergency responders, including LASAMBUS, LASTMA, and Nigerian Police officers, swiftly arrived at the scene to render medical assistance, manage traffic, and maintain order.
Efforts are currently underway to clear the wreckage and restore normal traffic flow, with authorities urging motorists to drive cautiously around the affected area.
Preliminary findings indicate that the crash occurred when an Audi vehicle (YAB 742 CN) heading toward Berger ran into a slowly moving truck near the Secretariat. The impact caused severe damage, leaving the car completely mangled and declared a total write-off. The truck driver reportedly fled the scene.
Authorities have launched further investigations into the incident.
