Truck crushes three to death in Lagos after brake failure
The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority has confirmed the death of three people as a truck rammed into vehicles and a building.
LAMATA disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
An 11-second video posted on X by LAMATA showed the damage caused by the crash.
A building at Lagos Road in Ayetoro was affected.
The agency said, “A fatal accident occurred due to a brake failure of a truck descending from Ita-Opo and hit a commercial Tricycle and a parked Toyota Camry, then also rammed into the Ayetoro Market/Complex.”
“Three lives were lost, and they’ve been taken to the morgue at Epe General Hospital.”
The agency said a tow truck was on the ground to evacuate the affected vehicles while traffic had been diverted.
