A video circulating online has captured the moment an ambulance struck and ran over an individual who appeared to be a spectator during the 11th edition of the Access Bank Lagos City Marathon on Saturday in Lagos.

The clip, shared on X by a user identified as #Mrolaoluwa, showed runners moving along a city road before an ambulance approached from behind and appeared to hit someone along the race route.

The user who posted the video wrote, “ I hope that guy that ambulance just hit at the Lagos City Marathon now, is safe.”
