The LASTMA General Manager, Mr Olalekan Bakare-Oki, said that two other persons trapped in the wreckage were rescued.

The statement was signed by Mr Taofiq Adebayo, Director, Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department, LASTMA.

Bakare-Oki said that one of the containerised trucks involved in the accident was loaded while the other was empty.

He said the rescue operation at the scene was done in collaboration with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Lagos Fire Service, and personnel from the Nigerian Army’s 174 Battalion.
He said the accident occurred at Powerline by Cele Bus Stop, Ita-Oluwo, Ikorodu.

“The tragic incident, which unfolded earlier today, led to the rescue of two individuals trapped in the wreckage, while two others were recovered lifeless.

“All victims were immediately conveyed to the General Hospital, Ikorodu, where the survivors currently receive medical care.

“Preliminary investigations revealed that the loaded container truck suffered a brake failure while allegedly attempting to evade a revenue collector in pursuit.

“This mechanical failure triggered a catastrophic chain of events, including collisions with other vehicles and damage to nearby buildings,” he said.

He said that LASTMA officials promptly cordoned off the accident site using caution tape to safeguard the public and facilitate the operations of emergency responders.
