One Dies In Third Mainland Bridge Accident by NaijaCover(m): 11:31pm On Jun 29
One person was confirmed dead in an accident that occurred on the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos on Saturday morning.

The accident involved a mini truck (MUS 489 XS) and a Toyota Camry (KRD 470 JD).

“Preliminary investigations revealed that the accident was caused by excessive speeding during a downpour this morning,” the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority said in a statement.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Mr Sola Giwa, in the statement signed by Mr Adebayo Taofiq, Director, Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department, LASTMA, said that three others were rescued at the accident scene.

He said that operatives of LASTMA responded swiftly to the accident, which occured near the Unilag waterfront, heading towards the Iyana-Oworonsoki area of Lagos.

Giwa said that despite the government’s ongoing campaign to educate motorists about speed limits, drivers continued to flout the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law, 2018.

He urged both commercial bus drivers and private car owners to avoid exceeding speed limits on the Third Mainland Bridge and other roads throughout the state.

Giwa said that the deceased was promptly removed by State Environmental Health Monitoring Unit (SEHMU) officials, while LASTMA cleared the accident vehicles to ensure smooth traffic flow on the bridge.

He extended his condolences to the family of the deceased and emphasised the importance of road safety.

The kind of fast and furious driving they drive on that bridge I'm not surprised with the high rate of accidents. Funny thing is even vehicles in bad condition will be speeding too, not to mention the drunk drivers forming Lewis Hamilton grin

Ok oh.

His Repentance Is Passed (RIP)

We the living should repent while waiting for our turns.

For, there is an appointed time for each of us on earth. And when the time comes, NOTHING---payers, fasting, etc---CAN STOP IT.
.
Oh, God, help me live a good and godly life. Amen.

Excessive speeding is not the answer to getting to ur destination early.
