Two Die On Lagos-Badagry Expressway Auto Accident
An auto-crash killed two people along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway on Saturday.
The Unit Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, Mr Williams Manga, confirmed this on Saturday, saying that the accident occurred at 7:10 a.m. near the Mammy Market Barracks axis of the expressway.
One other person sustained some injuries.
“Our personnel were alerted about the accident immediately, and we got to the scene at exactly 7.15. a.m.
“The Toyota commercial bus with registration number MHY 165 YH collided with a Bajaj motorcycle with registration number LAAR 313 VP coming from Badagry.
“The two persons on the motorcycle died instantly, while one in the front seat of the bus sustained varying degrees of injury.
“One of them was not affected by the accident at all,” he said.
According to him, the likely cause of the accident was excessive speeding.
He said that the injured person had been taken to the General Hospital in Badagry for treatment, while the corpses of the deceased were deposited at the mortuary of the hospital.
The unit commander urged motorists plying the Lagos-Badagry expressway to reduce their speed on the one-lane expressway.
He added that sensitisation programmes were organised for motorists plying the Agbara-Badagry expressway on the need to reduce their speed on the highway.
“This is not the first time this will happen; the command has continuously warned motorists about the dangers of excessive speeding, but some will not listen.
“Avoid excessive speeding, adhere to speed limits, and conduct routine vehicle checks for prompt detection and replacement of faulty motor parts before leaving your house,” he said.
