A female biker was killed on Monday when a truck fell off a bridge in Lagos and landed on her motorcycle.
Sola Giwa, special adviser on transportation to Babajide
Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, said the driver lost control while steering the
truck at full pelt.
The truck then fell on the female biker as it descended the
Iganmu bridge.
Giwa said the incident occurred at 6:15am on Monday at
Sifax, inward Iganmu bridge, adding that the truck driver fled the scene after
the fatal incident.
“Early this morning, operatives of the Lagos State Traffic
Management Authority (LASTMA) and other emergency responders recovered the body
of a female biker trapped under a loaded containerized truck in Lagos,” the
statement reads.
“Preliminary investigations revealed that the truck driver,
who was speeding, lost control and caused the truck to fall on the female
biker.
“Immediately after the incident, LASTMA personnel called in
other emergency responders, including the LASEMA Response Unit (LRU), for a rescue
operation.”
The special adviser said the body of the deceased has been
evacuated while the containerised truck has also been evacuated for ease of
traffic.
