 Serena Williams falls to 20-year-old Maya Joint in Wimbledon return after nearly four-year singles absence Serena Williams showed flashes of the power and precision that defined her Hall of Fame career in her return to professional singles tennis Tuesday, but ultimately fell short in a three-set opening-round loss at Wimbledon. The 44-year-old Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam champion, was defeated 6-3, 6-7 (6), 6-3 by 20-year-old Australian Maya Joint in a match that lasted 2 hours and 22 minutes on Centre Court. It marked Williams’ first singles appearance in nearly four years, since the 2022 U.S. Open.

 LASTMA RESPONDS TO MULTIPLE-VEHICLE COLLISION AT CELE, INWARD OSHODI


The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has confirmed the tragic demise of a commercial bus driver following a fatal multiple-vehicle collision that occurred yesterday at Cele inward Oshodi, Lagos.


The unfortunate accident involved a commercial mini bus, "Korope," and a Toyota Tundra pickup truck (EPE 554 YC).


Preliminary investigations conducted by security personnel at the scene revealed that the driver of the commercial mini bus sustained grievous injuries and died instantly due to the devastating impact of the collision.


LASTMA operatives, who were on routine traffic monitoring and surveillance duties within the corridor, swiftly mobilised to the scene to coordinate emergency response efforts, secure the accident site, manage traffic flow and prevent further obstruction along the heavily trafficked route.


In concert with Officers of the Nigeria Police Force from the Cele-Ijesha Division, the remains of the deceased driver were respectfully recovered and subsequently released to his family members residing within the locality.


As part of concerted efforts to restore normalcy and guarantee public safety, LASTMA personnel promptly evacuated the wreckage and all accident-involved vehicles from the roadway. The vehicles were thereafter handed over to the Nigeria Police Force for exhaustive investigation into both the immediate and remote causes of the crash, with a view to determining liability and facilitating any necessary legal proceedings.


Notwithstanding the significant disruption occasioned by the incident, the prompt intervention of LASTMA officers, coupled with the deployment of effective traffic management strategies, ensured the expeditious restoration of free vehicular movement along the affected corridor.


The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki conveyed his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family and admonished motorists, particularly commercial transport operators, to exercise heightened caution, maintain unwavering compliance with extant traffic regulations and cultivate a culture of responsible driving at all times.
