A tragic multiple road traffic crash occurred in the early hours of Monday, at about 05:36hrs, 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), despite 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.

The emergency response team arrived at the scene within 4 minutes of the report, worked swiftly to manage the situation. Injured victims were immediately referred to Alimosho General Hospital for medical attention.

In an effort to ensure public safety and prevent further chaos from the growing crowd at the scene, the Lexus vehicle with the deceased trapped inside was towed by an Ayab recovery truck to the Ijanikin Police Station. The Mack truck was also cleared off the road by the FRSC tow truck, restoring free flow of traffic.

The FRSC Lagos Sector Commander, Corps Commander Kehinde G. Hamzat, expresses heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased and wishes the injured a speedy recovery.
