  "summary": "Four people have been killed and six others injured after a container-laden truck overturned onto an interstate passenger bus on Berger Bridge, inward Eleko, along the Ibeju-Lekki Expressway in Lagos State. According to the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), the accident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday when the articulated truck, conveying a 20-foot container, collided with a Toyota Hiace bus with registration number GME-589 ZU. Preliminary investigations revealed that the truck was traveling uphill on the bridge at excessive speed when it collided with the bus, causing the truck to overturn onto the bus. Four adult males died at the scene, while six others sustained varying degrees of injuries. LASEMA responders, working with the Federal Road Safety Corps and the Nigeria Police Force, secured the scene, administered first aid to the injured, and evacuated them to Epe General Hospital for treatment.",
