Operatives of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) earlier today rescued a trapped driver and his assistant from under a mini truck loaded with sachet water.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Sola Giwa, confirmed that the accident occurred near Adeniji inward Sura, descending from the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos.
He explained that the driver of the mini truck lost control due to brake failure, colliding with the two Mazda cars.
Despite the government’s ongoing campaign to educate motorists about speed limits and the importance of vehicle maintenance, particularly the braking system, Giwa noted that drivers continue to flout the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law, 2018.
He urged all drivers, including truck operators and private car owners, to avoid speeding and to check their vehicles before driving within and outside the state.
