One person has been confirmed dead, while three others were rescued when a truck conveying a 40-foot container fell on a commercial bus in Agbotikuyo area in Ipaja, Lagos State.
The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) confirmed the incident via a statement issued by its spokesperson, Taofiq Adebayo, on Sunday, June 22, 2025.
Adebayo quoted the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Sola Giwa, as saying the collision involved a fully-loaded 40-foot Mack containerised truck, due to alleged brake failure, toppled onto a commercial minibus, popularly called ‘Korope’.
Giwa said the devastating impact led to the death of the minibus driver.
