 LASTMA Issues Warning Against Expressway Crossing Following Pedestrian’s Death in Lorry Accident


A pedestrian was killed over the weekend in a tragic road accident along the Ojota Expressway, prompting the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority to issue a stern warning against unlawfully crossing highways.


According to a statement signed and released on Sunday by the Director of Public Affairs and Enlightenment at LASTMA, Adebayo Taofiq, the victim was hit by a lorry while attempting to cross the busy Ojota main carriageway, bypassing the designated pedestrian bridge.


Preliminary investigations revealed that the lorry driver, in an attempt to flee after the fatal collision, lost control of the vehicle and rammed into a Toyota Corolla with registration number LND 905 HN.


“The Lagos State Government has invested significantly in pedestrian bridges, and it is incumbent upon all road users to utilise them conscientiously,” said LASTMA General Manager, Olalekan Bakare-Oki.


The statement noted that LASTMA officers swiftly apprehended the fleeing driver and secured both the vehicle and the suspect before handing them over to the Ogudu Police Division for further investigation.


The deceased’s body was later handed over to officials of the State Environmental Health Monitoring Unit, in line with standard procedures.


Describing the incident as “tragic and wholly preventable”, Bakare-Oki extended condolences to the victim’s family and reiterated the importance of using the pedestrian infrastructure provided by the state.


“It is both reckless and unlawful to ignore the infrastructural provisions made for pedestrian safety,” he said, warning that such negligence puts not only the offender at risk but also other road users.


He added: “Disregard for traffic safety protocols endangers not only the individual but also the broader public,” calling for “collective vigilance and compliance to prevent further needless tragedies.”


LASTMA urged the public to prioritise safety and avoid shortcuts that endanger lives
