...roads. Institute new and better ways to which containers could be transported thru city roads OR have owners evacuate contents and transport same with smaller load bearing trucks These accidents are toooo much to be allowed to continue based on 'minimum safety standards'!

There's nothing like 'advise veh owners to maintain minimum safety standards'!!! Most if these articulated vehs have long served their minimum safety years. The owners cannot further maintain them. They will not spend the money Solution? Ban container bearing vehs on Lagos...

Ouch!!!

Hope they are alive It's too early to hear bad news o
