Two people lost their lives in a multiple-vehicle collision at the Second Rainbow Bus Stop along the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway in Lagos. According to a statement from the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), signed by its Permanent Secretary, Dr. Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, the agency received a distress call and promptly activated its emergency response team.

The Eagle response team arrived at the scene around 5:52 PM on Sunday, where they found a serious accident involving four vehicles: a MAN truck (registration number KTU 793 YE) loaded with groundnut oil, a Honda Accord (registration number KTU 223 GH), and two commercial buses.

Reports from the scene indicated that the MAN truck experienced a mechanical failure at high speed, causing the driver to lose control and crash into the other vehicles. Tragically, two adult males died as a result, while several others sustained injuries and were treated by the Lagos State Ambulance Service (LASAMBUS).

The statement also noted that all four vehicles involved suffered significant damage. Thanks to a coordinated effort by first responders, the scene was swiftly cleared. The damaged vehicles were towed to Festac Police Station, and the bodies of the deceased were handed over to police officers at the scene before being taken to the mortuary.
