A Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) vehicle overturned in the Iyana Ipaja area of Lagos on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a post on X, the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) said the bus struck an abandoned pedestrian bridge footing near the Iyana Ipaja bridge, causing it to tip over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agency said 10 passengers were injured from the accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA fully loaded high-capacity bus fell on its side inside the dedicated lane (BRT lane) with a record of 10 casualties (victims) in which they were taken care of,\u201d the post reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRecovery of the affected vehicles is in progress, and it\u2019s expected to be completed as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LASTMA added that all the injured passengers have received medical attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accident has led to significant traffic disruption in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drivers and commuters have been advised to exercise caution and obey traffic directives as the situation is being managed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LASTMA also disclosed that a loaded truck overturned at Durbar Junction on the Lagos-Badagry expressway, obstructing traffic in-bound Alakija.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is a fallen loaded truck at Durbar junction inward Alakija that took 100% of the road,\u201d the post reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTraffic has been diverted through the service lane from Orile heading towards Durbar. Efforts are ongoing to evacuate it from the road and our men are firmly in position to monitor the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTransloading of contents in the fallen truck is currently ongoing. We apologize for the inconvenience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another crash occurred opposite Northwest, in-bound Ajah, involving two vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LASTMA attributed the incident to over-speeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
