Accident on Lagos-Badagry Road: Three People Die in Truck-Motorcycle Crash. Three individuals lost their lives when a truck lost control and collided with a motorcycle traveling against traffic on the Lagos-Badagry expressway. The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) recovered two deceased passengers from under the truck near Barracks Bus-stop. These passengers, violating traffic laws by riding one-way, succumbed to the accident, with the motorcycle rider later passing away at a hospital in Satellites Town. The preliminary investigation revealed that the truck driver, speeding and experiencing a rear tire blowout, caused the tragic collision.
Despite the driver fleeing the scene, the police from ‘Onireke’ Police Division took custody of the recovered bodies. Lastma Commander Area D, Ogunremi Olanrewaju, and his team promptly cleared the truck and motorcycle from the road to ensure uninterrupted traffic flow on the expressway.
