Father, son injured as bus loses control on Lagos-Abeokuta expressway

The Ogun Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps, TRACE, has confirmed that a father and his son were injured as a commercial bus lost control on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway on Tuesday.

Adekunle Ajibade, South-West Zonal Commander of TRACE, confirmed the incident to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, in Ota, Ogun.

Ajibade said that a commercial bus heading towards Lagos from Sango lost control due to brake failure and rammed into the man and his son, who were crossing the road.

Ajibade said that the father had a sight problem and the son was leading him to cross the road at Tollgate when the accident happened at about 6.45 am.

“The victims sustained various degrees of injuries and were taken to the State Hospital, Ota, for treatment, while no death was recorded from the incident,” he said.

Ajibade implored motorists to always ensure that their vehicles are in proper condition before putting them on the road.

He also cautioned drivers against excessive speeding to prevent avoidable crashes.
