LASTMA Officers Swiftly Rescue Severely Injured Passenger

A significant road traffic incident was reported today near Alalade Memorial Hospital, inward Cement, Dopemu. The collision involved a Volkswagen commercial bus (commonly referred to as "Danfo"), bearing the registration number KSF 588 XP, and a dispatch motorcycle. 

Preliminary findings attribute the cause of the accident to a brake system failure in the Volkswagen bus, which resulted in a devastating head-on collision with the dispatch rider.

The timely intervention of Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) personnel was crucial in preventing additional casualties. In the immediate aftermath, LASTMA officers swiftly rescued a male passenger who sustained a severe fracture injury, transporting him to a nearby medical facility for urgent care.

Security operatives from Afonga Police Station promptly arrived at the scene, providing necessary security cover and maintaining order. 

With a concerted effort, LASTMA officials efficiently cleared the debris from both the Volkswagen bus and the dispatch motorcycle, thereby restoring the smooth flow of traffic in the affected area. The damaged vehicles have since been handed over to the police for further examination and investigation.

The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki, expressed his deep concern for the injured passenger, extending his sincere sympathies and wishing him a speedy and complete recovery.
