Two persons, yesterday, escaped death in an auto crash on the Agbara-Badagry expressway in Lagos State. The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Commander, Badagry Unit, Mr William Manga, who confirmed this, said the duo, however, sustained injuries in the incident that occurred at about 12.54 a.m. He stressed that the incident, which occurred at Ibereko Barracks axis of the Badagry expressway, involved a car and a truck.
According to him, the command was informed at about 12.57 a.m. and officers arrived at the incident scene at about 1:02 a.m. He said: “The accident involved a Howo truck with registration number KZR73ZT and a Mazda car with registration number KTU900BK.
“Our personnel got to the scene of the accident at exactly 1.02 a.m. and discovered that two persons, male and female, sustained injuries.
“They were rushed to the General Hospital, Badagry, for treatment.”
The FRSC official linked the crash to speeding and wrongful overtaking. Manga, therefore, urged motorists plying the expressway to be conscious of the single lane presently in use. He also advised them to adhere strictly to the speed limit and conduct routine checks on their vehicles for prompt detection and correction of faults.
