FRSC confirms early morning fatal crash in Lagos
The Federal Road Safety Corps has confirmed that a multiple-vehicle crash has claimed the life of one person and injured two others in Lagos.
Sector commander Kehinde Hamzat confirmed this in a statement that said the crash occurred in the early hours of Monday.
Mr Hamzat disclosed that the crash occurred at about 5:36 a.m., along the Tradefair–Agbara route, specifically at Iyana Era Bus Stop.
”The unfortunate crash involved two vehicles: a blue Mack truck with registration number AKD 579 XM (commercial), and a silver Lexus saloon car with registration number LSR 545 JN (private).
”A total of five adult males were involved in the incident. Preliminary investigations by FRSC indicate that the crash was caused by speed violation (SPV) and loss of control (LOC), in spite of the smooth condition of the road.
”The violent impact of the crash led to the death of one male adult, while two others sustained varying degrees of injuries,” he said.
The FRSC commander added that the emergency response team arrived within four minutes of the report and worked swiftly to manage the situation.
He said the injured victims were immediately referred to the Alimosho General Hospital for medical attention.
He expressed heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased and wished the injured a speedy recovery.
He reiterated the corps’ commitment to road safety and called on all motorists to avoid speeding and maintain full control of their vehicles.
