A ghastly motor accident involving a Honda vehicle with registration number KTU 921 JY and two commercial tricycles occurred at about 8:50 a.m. on Monday at the Federal Bus Stop along Ipaja Road in Lagos, leaving several passengers injured.
Eyewitnesses
at the scene said the female driver of the Honda car was allegedly speeding
when she attempted to dodge a sweeper working with the Lagos Waste Management
Authority.
According
to witnesses, the vehicle hit the sweeper before veering across the road and
colliding with two tricycles on the opposite lane.
It was
gathered that about 10 passengers in the tricycles sustained varying degrees of
injuries during the crash. While some victims suffered serious injuries, others
reportedly sustained minor wounds.
It was
further gathered that the injured passengers were initially rushed to a private
hospital for emergency treatment before some of them were later transferred to
Lagos State University Teaching Hospital in Ikeja for further medical
attention.
Police
officers from Gowon Divisional Headquarters, neighbourhood watch personnel and
LASTMA officials were seen at the scene managing traffic and coordinating
rescue efforts.
Authorities
were yet to officially comment on the incident as of the time of filing this
report.
