Speeding truck crushes LAWMA worker on Eko Bridge corridor
A Lagos Waste Management Authority worker, identified as Baba Ibeji, has been severely injured after a loaded container truck crushed him along the Offin Canal corridor inward Eko Bridge. The accident happened in the early hours at Oja Junction when the speeding truck reportedly suffered brake failure while descending the CMS Bridge toward Eko Bridge. The vehicle hit the LAWMA operative as he was clearing refuse on the median, then rammed into a Toyota Camry with registration number FST 417 FS. Officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority on duty in the area quickly intervened and pulled the victim out from under the wreckage. LASTMA said their prompt response prevented the crash from becoming fatal. Colleagues first rushed the injured worker to Fuja Hospital, but he was referred to the General Hospital because of the seriousness of his injuries. […]
