Panic erupted in Lagos after a vehicle reportedly lost control and rammed into a line of commercial tricycles, leaving several people injured in a road accident that caused heavy disruption in the area.
The incident occurred on a busy road in the state where eyewitnesses said the vehicle veered off its lane before crashing into multiple tricycles parked or moving along the roadside, sending passengers and operators scrambling for safety.
Emergency responders and bystanders were said to have quickly rushed the injured victims to nearby hospitals for treatment, while efforts were made to clear wrecked tricycles and restore traffic flow in the affected area.
Preliminary reports suggest the driver may have lost control of the vehicle due to speeding or a mechanical fault, though authorities are yet to officially confirm the exact cause of the crash.
Officials from relevant traffic and emergency agencies later arrived at the scene to manage the situation, document the incident, and prevent further accidents along the busy corridor.
The accident adds to the growing concerns over road safety in Lagos, where frequent collisions involving commercial vehicles and tricycles continue to raise alarm among residents and transport unions.
