 No fewer than nine passengers have been reportedly crushed to death as a 20-feet laden container fell on a commercial bus in the Ujualaba area of Lagos State, southwest Nigeria. The bus was picking up passengers at the bus stop along the Ujualaba Bridge when the truck lost control and fell over the bridge. The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASMA, later said rescue and evacuation efforts were ongoing on the scene of the accident. Prominent Secretary LASMA confirmed the number of deaths, including two children. The agency said the Nigeria Police will conduct further investigation on the removal of the barriers on the bridge aimed at preventing trucks from ascending.
