According to the LASMA investigation, due to brake failure, the 40-foot container truck, while traveling at top speed, collided with three other vehicles, including a fully loaded tipper with sand.

LASMA wrote; “The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Bolaji Oreagba, cautioned the motoring public to always ensure that their vehicles are in good condition before embarking on any journey both within and outside Lagos.

“Policemen from Ilupeju Police Command supported Lastma officials during the rescue operations.”
