Fatal Incident: Container Claims Life Of Woman In Lagos

A yet-to-be-identified woman tragically lost her life on Friday when a 40-feet container fell on the car she was in along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. According to Adebayo Taofiq, the Director of Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), the woman’s driver survived the accident without injuries.

Taofiq attributed the accident to the high speed at which the driver of the fully loaded 40-foot container was traveling. He mentioned that both the driver of the Mack articulated truck and his assistant fled the scene immediately after the incident.

Following the accident, rescue efforts were swiftly initiated by LASTMA officials, along with assistance from passersby and the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) Response Unit (LRU). The victim’s body was handed over to the police by LASTMA for further procedures.
