Eight deaths have been officially confirmed as a result of a vehicle carrying a 20-foot container crushing a commercial bus in Lagos. Near the Federal Fire Station, on the Ojuelegba Bridge, an accident took place.
According to investigations, the vehicle lost control and plunged over the side of the bridge as the bus was loading up people.
Rescuers from the state emergency management agency (LASEMA) and other organisations at the scene were able to remove the container using their powerful equipment while also removing the bus's head. While just one person was still alive, the LASEMA report revealed that eight bodies had been found, including three adult males, three adult females, a girl child, and a boy child.
