A fatal accident involving multiple vehicles on the Kara Bridge section of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway has resulted in the loss of one life, according to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Lagos Sector Command, led by Corps Commander Kehinde Hamzat.
Commander Hamzat confirmed that the collision involved a White Volvo Truck (Reg. No: FKJ 484 YA), a White Toyota Hummer Bus (Reg. No: BWR 372 XC), a Benz Bus (Reg. No: GNL 630 XC), and an unregistered Black Boxer Motorcycle. The FRSC, which received the report at 3:33 a.m. and arrived on-site five minutes later, stated that reckless driving, speeding, and improper overtaking were the primary causes of the accident.
FRSC personnel, along with the police and Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), promptly secured the scene and managed traffic flow. A bystander assisted in transporting an injured victim to the hospital, while authorities handled the deceased respectfully.
Commander Hamzat expressed condolences and reminded road users of their shared responsibility to maintain safe driving practices, including observing speed limits and avoiding risky overtaking. "This tragic incident highlights the importance of road safety awareness. We urge all road users to work with us to prevent such avoidable losses," he said.
