Many feared killed as Dangote truck crushes BRT bus in Lagos
No fewer than 13 persons were feared killed yesterday as Dangote truck crushes BRT bus in high speed at Ikorodu, Lagos.
The truck, Strategic Media learnt had break failure, skidded off the main expressway and then collided with the bus on the BRT corridor at Ogolonto area of Ikorodu.
“Casualties have been taken to the hospital,” Lagos State Transport Management Authority said, adding that the two vehicles have been removed from the expressway.
However, the accident caused a long stretch of gridlock outward Ikorodu.
“Traffic backlog has extended to Oja bus stop for those coming from Ikorodu. The backlog is at Asolo for those going into Ikorodu,” LASTMA said.
