2 die, 14 injured in vehicle collision in Lagos

At least two lives were lost when two vehicles collided at the Gbagada area of Lagos on Monday.

The accident, involving a Volks Wagon commercial bus with registration number GGE716XM and a Mazda taxi, occurred around 3pm.

LASEMA said in a statement obtained by Newsroom Nigeria that fourteen (14) persons were rescued and taken to the Gbagada General Hospital and Trauma Centre.

They all sustained varying degrees of injuries.

The two casualties were moved by SEHMU to the Lagos Mainland Hospital Mortuary, while the damaged vehicles were towed away to avoid another incident and enable free flow of traffic in the area.

The General Manager LASEMA, Mr. Adesina Tiamiyu, advised motorists, especially commercial bus drivers, to ensure they pay full attention while driving.

He also called for caution to drive within the speed limit to avoid unnecessary loss of lives due to reckless driving.
