One person has reportedly died during an accident involving a loaded tanker with diesel and numerous vehicles at Odoyalaro in Ikorodu, Lagos State.
According to a post on the X account of the Lagos State Transportation Management Agency (LASTMA), the accident occurred on Saturday night.
“A loaded tanker with diesel had a brake failure and collided with numerous vehicles,” LASTMA announced.
“About 17 victims were recorded with one person dead. Men of the LASTMA rescue team, the Police, Lagos State Fire Service and other emergency responders were all present at the scene.”
It added that the recovery of the affected vehicles are also ongoing.
The agency, meanwhile, has reported another accident at the same spot of the earlier multiple accidents at Odoyalaro in Ikorodu which involved two trucks.
The only victim involved has, however, reportedly received first aid care and has been taken to a nearby hospital as well.
