Four rescued as container falls on vehicle in Lagos

Mr Okunbor confirmed that the other two persons were later rescued with the aid of the agency’s heavy duty equipment Forklift, alongside efforts of officers from LASTMA, Nigeria Army, Nigeria Police Force and FRSC.

“The third and fourth accident victims have all been successfully recovered from inside the car alive and are presently being given Pre-Hospital care inside the ambulance,” the LASEMA boss said. Also reacting to the incident, the Lagos Sector Commander of the FRSC, Olusegun Ogungbemide, warned owners of articulated vehicles that are not maintaining minimum safety standards to keep such vehicles off the road for the sake of innocent motoring public or face the wrath of the law.

Mr Ogungbemide said the crash would have been more devastating if not that the container was properly twist locked. He commended the rescue agencies for their swift response that assisted in rescuing all the trapped victims and the availability of rescue equipment which made the operation seamless.
