Three drivers injured in trucks accident

Three persons were injured yesterday when two loaded trucks heading toward Toll-gate, Sango in Ogun State from Lagos collided at Ajegunle Bus-Stop. The driver of one of the trucks had his legs broken and two others serious head injuries.

The Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Transportation, Sola Giwa, who confirmed the accident, said a truck transporting bottled Maltina (FKJ 240 XS) and another loaded with floor tiles were involved. According to Giwa, initial investigations indicated that one of the trucks was driving against traffic at high speed when it lost control due to brake failure, and crashed into the oncoming truck.

Giwa emphasised the importance of safe driving and vehicle checks, especially during the rainy season. He expressed his sympathies to the injured and urged motorists, including truck drivers, to avoid speeding and ensure their vehicles are in proper working condition.
