A devastating accident occurred at the Ojodu Berger axis of Lagos when a speeding trailer driver lost control, resulting in a catastrophic collision that gruesomely injured a LASTMA officer.
The trailer, with registration number KTG 33 ZZ, was traveling from Agidingbi to Omole Junction when the driver’s reckless speeding caused the crash.
The impact of the collision severely traumatized the LASTMA officer, causing fractures to his right leg and hand.
Medical specialists at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) determined that the officer’s injuries were so severe that his right leg had to be amputated.
In a shocking attempt to evade justice, the trailer driver fled the scene, but was swiftly apprehended by security operatives from Ojodu Police Station and LASTMA officials.
The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki, strongly condemned the incident, emphasizing that it could have been prevented if the driver had followed basic road safety protocols.
He urged all motorists, especially trailer and truck operators, to prioritize safety and respect the value of human life.
