A ghastly motor accident involving a Honda vehicle with registration number KTU 921 JY and two commercial tricycles occurred at about 8:50 a.m. on Monday at the Federal Bus Stop along Ipaja Road in Lagos, leaving several passengers injured.
Eyewitnesses at the scene said the female driver of the Honda car was allegedly speeding when she attempted to dodge a sweeper working with the Lagos Waste Management Authority.
According to witnesses, the vehicle hit the sweeper before veering across the road and colliding with two tricycles on the opposite lane.
It was gathered that about 10 passengers in the tricycles sustained varying degrees of injuries during the crash. While some victims suffered serious injuries, others reportedly sustained minor wounds.
PUNCH Online corespondent at the scene gathered that the injured passengers were initially rushed to a private hospital for emergency treatment before some of them were later transferred to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital in Ikeja for further medical attention.
Police officers from Gowon Divisional Headquarters, neighbourhood watch personnel and LASTMA officials were seen at the scene managing traffic and coordinating rescue efforts.
Authorities were yet to officially comment on the incident as of the time of filing this report.
