At least three people were injured in a collision on Tuesday night involving a trailer, a Toyota Camry, and a Lexus car on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.
Mr. William Manga, the Unit Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, confirmed the incident during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Badagry.
The accident occurred around 11:36 pm near the Agbo-Malu area of the Age-Mowo section of the expressway, according to the unit commander.
“Our personnel were alerted about the accident at about 11.42 pm and got to the scene at 11:52 pm, 10 minutes after they were alerted.
“The accident involved three vehicles,” he said.
He noted that a Renault trailer with number plate BK 672 RB coming from Badagry; a Toyota car with number plate JJJ 574 JP and another Lexus car with no number were involved in the collision.
“Five persons were involved in the accident but three of them sustained varying degrees of injury,” he said.
The commander added that the injured persons were taken to the Lagos State Mobile Clinic for treatment.
The accident was due to a loss of control and lack of concentration while on the expressway, according to Manga.
He said the three vehicles involved in the accident had been removed from the expressway.
The FRSC unit commander appealed to passengers to always caution drivers against speeding, urging motorists plying the road to also be conscious of their speed on the one-lane expressway.
