Two persons have lost their lives when a truck loaded with granite collided with a car on the Otedola bridge on Saturday.
The truck driver, while plying the axis, was believed to have crashed off the crash barrier on the bridge and hit the Lexus Sports Utility Vehicle.
The impact of the crash allegedly disconnected the head of the truck from its body and fell off the bridge.
The Director-General, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, Dr Oluwafemi Oke-Osanyintolu, who confirmed the accident said unidentified bodies of the two victims had been recovered and bagged, and two people were rescued, treated on the spot and discharged.
He stated that one of the victims who sustained serious injuries had been taken to the hospital for treatment.
Oke-Osanyintolu said, “A fatal accident which claimed the lives of two adult males occurred on Otedola bridge. Two people were rescued and treated on the spot and discharged, while one was evacuated to accident and emergency hospital in a critical condition. Treatment was commenced immediately.
“Investigations conducted revealed that an articulated truck laden with several tons of granite, crashed off the crash barrier on the bridge and collided with a black coloured Lexus SUV.
“The truck’s head subsequently detached because of the impact and fell off the bridge. The mangled bodies of the victims have been recovered and bagged, while intervention to ease vehicular movement is being carried out.”
