A yet-to-be-identified trailer driver has been killed in an accident at Ayetoro Bus-Stop, Ijanikin, along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, Lagos State.

“We tried to call his attention by shouting at the top of our voices to wake him up, but it was too late as the trailer climbed a big stone by the roadside.

“The driver apparently woke up in the process and while trying to escape, the trailer tumbled on him.” The Lagos State Commandant of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Olusegun Ogungbemide, confirmed the incident. He said, “The incident, which involved an ash-coloured Howo truck with number plate, T8678LA, caused the death of the driver.

“The incident happened at 7.24am, but was reported at 7:28am; my team arrived at the scene at 7.32am. We immediately removed the trapped dead body of the driver and ensured free flow of traffic.”All rights reserved.
