Three Killed, Several Injured as Truck Crushes Passenger Bus on Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway
At least three people were confirmed dead on Tuesday evening, while several others sustained injuries in a fatal road crash involving a Lafarge truck and an 18-seater passenger bus along the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.
The tragic incident occurred around 5:30 p.m. at the U-turn near BUA Bus Stop.
Eyewitnesses said the commercial bus, which was travelling from the Sango area toward Lagos, reportedly lost control and suddenly veered across to the opposite side of the road.
The unexpected movement brought the vehicle directly into the path of an oncoming Lafarge truck travelling on the other lane, which rammed into the bus and crushed it.
Three passengers were said to have died on the spot, while several others suffered varying degrees of injuries.
Rescue efforts were immediately launched by sympathisers and emergency responders, who evacuated the injured victims for medical attention.
Authorities are yet to issue an official statement on the cause of the crash, while traffic around the scene was heavily affected as of the time of filing this report.
More details soon…..
