Tragedy as 40-foot container crushes 2 women to death in Lagos
Barely a month after two staff of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) lost their lives to an unlatched shipping container, tragedy, struck again Friday night, at Odo-Olowu Bus Stop, Ijesha, along Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, Lagos, when another container fell off a truck and crushed two young women to death.
The incident, it was gathered, happened around 10.45 p.m. Emergency responders have recovered the bodies and taken them to a morgue.
The Director-General of Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, Dr. Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, confirmed the incident.
It was gathered that the truck, loaded with an empty 40-foot container, suddenly suffered brake failure and rammed into a stationary truck, and the container fell off.
However, the driver of the ill-fated truck was rescued by LASEMA personnel, who took the injured man to a hospital.
“Sadly, two adult females lost their lives and their remains have been transported by State Environmental Health Monitoring Unit, SEHMU, to the mortuary,” Oke-Osanyintolu stated.
