Tanker experiences break failure, rams into pedestrians at Ikotun

TRAGEDY has, again, struck in the Igando-Ikotun LCDA of Alimosho LGA as a loaded tanker said to have experienced brake failure rammed into pedestrians at Ikotun.

According to a post by the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), the Agency said casualties have been taken to an unnamed hospital.

The post reads, "There is an accident of a loaded tanker with a brake failure at Ojo Udo inward Ikotun which rammed into pedestrians coming from Ikotun intersection. 

"Casualties have been taken to a nearby hospital for treatment while effort is on for evacuation."

You would recall that on Monday, January 23, 2023, two ad-hoc female health workers and a man were killed in a road accident around Alhaji Ede Bus Stop, along LASU Road, Igando, in the Igando-Ikotun LCDA of Alimosho LGA at about noon.
