Woman killed after 40-feet container falls on car in Lagos
A falling 40-feet container killed a woman inside her car at the Lagos end of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Friday.
The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) stated that her driver survived the accident unhurt.
LASTMA spokesperson Taofiq Adebayo stated that the articulated truck’s driver and his assistant, who carried the container, fled the scene immediately after the accident occurred.
“Preliminary investigation showed that the fleeing truck driver was driving at high speed when he experienced brake failure and lost control of the vehicle.
“The truck rammed into the car and spilt the container on top of it.
“LASTMA already handed the evacuated corpse of the woman to the police,’’ Mr Adebayo stated.
