A devastating accident occurred in Lagos early Saturday when a truck skidded off the Oshodi bridge and plunged into the bus station below.
According to eyewitnesses, the incident happened along the Apapa–Oshodi Expressway, inward Mile 2.
The truck, which was fully loaded with toner printing materials, reportedly lost control while descending the bridge, resulting in the crash.
No lives were lost in the incident. However, the truck driver sustained severe injuries, including fractures to his limbs and arms.
Emergency responders arrived promptly and rushed him to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The accident caused significant disruption to traffic in the area, as officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) worked tirelessly to restore normal flow.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the driver may have experienced brake failure or lost control of the vehicle while navigating the descent.
