A 40ft container truck with reg number KRD 526 XP lost its brake and rammed into a commercial mini bus with reg number EPE 972 XH, as well as okada riders at Alakija bus stop,Lagos today.
Five persons were involved in the accident comprising 3 dead (all male, adult) while 2 persons sustained severe injuries and have been taken to the hospital for treatment.
The PHCN in Alakija was alerted to switch off the power supply in order to prevent any form of electrocution as the truck also knocked over some poles trailing live cables all over the street.
To assist in the rescue, a caterpillar used by PHCN area office was deployed to the site to lift the fallen container so as to disperse pooling traffic.
May the souls of the departed rest in peace, Amen.
Dear lord, that is so close to where I stay, lord have mercy on us.
