Lagos: Couple Narrowly Escapes Death In Container Accident

A couple narrowly escaped death in a container accident in Lagos.

 

Glamtush reports that a couple escaped death on Wednesday after a container fell on their Lexus Jeep at the Toyota bus stop on the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.

In a statement on Thursday, the Director of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Margaret Adeseye, stated that the incident occurred in the evening after a distress call.

According to her, the incident occurred after the container accidentally fell on the rear side of the vehicle.

They were later rescued from the wreckage of their vehicle.

 

The statement read, “A male adult of about 45 years old and a female adult of about 37 years old (both names withheld) were rescued from the jaw of death by the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service from a vehicle accident involving their Lexus Jeep 350 with registration number EKY 251 HW and a Mack Trailer with registration number BDG 513 XW conveying two containers of 20 feet each.”

The accident, which was a visible call on the Isolo Fire Station of the Agency at about 18:35 hours Wednesday, at the busy Toyota bus stop on the Apapa—Oshodi Expressway inward Isolo, Lagos, had one of the containers accidentally fall on the rear side of the vehicle while on motion, prompting sympathisers to come to their aid before firefighters teamed up to bring them out of the accident unhurt.

Adeseye added that both victims were joined by the trailer driver who also escaped unscathed and was taken through trauma therapy to ascertain their well-being.

“The remains of the vehicles had been cleared off the path of the highway by LASEMA after men of LASTMA cleared the ensuing traffic backlog with the support of the Nigeria Police from the Ilasamaja Division who had since brought the operations into conclusion,” the statement added.
