Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has confirmed a serious road traffic accident that occurred in the early hours along the Heritage Garden inward Oshodi–Oke corridor, leaving two passengers critically injured.
According to preliminary reports, a red Tata commercial bus, with registration number MUS 507 XX, was involved in the crash, which is believed to have been caused by excessive speed.
Eyewitnesses said the bus collided with another moving truck, which fled the scene without sustaining visible damage, complicating immediate identification and accountability.
LASTMA operatives stationed in the area responded promptly to the distress alert.
The officers rescued two passengers trapped in the mangled bus and immediately activated emergency response protocols.
The Lagos State Ambulance Services (LASAMBUS) arrived on the scene to provide on-site first aid before transporting the victims to a medical facility for further treatment.
The driver of the commercial bus was apprehended by LASTMA for investigation, while the damaged vehicle was quickly removed from the roadway to prevent further hazards and restore traffic flow along the busy corridor.
