 One dead as trailer crashes into market along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway


One person has been confirmed dead, others injured, and properties destroyed after a truck reportedly suffered brake failure and crashed into the busy Isheri Market in OPIC bus stop along Lagos-Ibadan expressway, on Wednesday morning.


According to a motorcyclist who witnessed the incident, the truck was approaching the OPIC area when the driver lost control due to brake failure. “While I was at OPIC bus stop roundabout, a container coming from Lagos reached OPIC bus stop. When he was coming, there was no traffic on the express, he didn’t have brakes when he tried to enter the estate, he then crashed into the market and killed a person,” the motorcyclists.


When asked if the truck driver was running from anyone, the eyewitness said, “No one was chasing him, it’s only him that was coming.” The truck reportedly attempted to avoid crashing into the estate gate by swerving to the right, but in doing so, it plowed through market stalls, injuring unsuspecting victims and destroying goods and structures in its path.


The only confirmed fatality was a local tea vendor who was serving his usual customers when the accident occurred. One of the injured victims, a night security guard at the market, shared his account of the moment the truck crashed.
