Eight escape death as three trucks collide on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

On Thursday, a multiple-vehicle crash along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway near the Sinoma outbound Lagos axis in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State left eight people unharmed. The incident occurred around 3:30 pm and involved three trucks - a white HOWO truck, a yellow DAF truck, and a white MAN truck carrying a gas tanker.

According to the Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps, the yellow DAF truck rear-ended the white HOWO truck, likely due to impatience. The subsequent impact then affected the white MAN truck carrying the gas tanker. Despite the severity of the collision, none of the eight male occupants were injured or killed. Rescue and traffic management operations were conducted by TRACE, Amotekun, and the Police Motor Traffic Division, Sagamu. The affected vehicles were cleared from the carriageway, and traffic flow was restored.
