Several passengers were injured in a late-night collision involving two Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) buses at the Iyana Ipaja area of Lagos on Tuesday.
The accident occurred within the BRT lane on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, near Danco Filling Station.
The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority reported that the injured passengers were taken to a nearby medical facility for treatment, and fortunately, no fatalities were reported.
Nosa Okunbor, the head of the public affairs unit of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, stated that the collision happened when one BRT bus tried to avoid hitting a commercial motorcyclist illegally using the BRT corridor, leading to a crash with an oncoming BRT bus.
Okunbor added that passengers from both buses sustained varying degrees of injuries and were taken to the hospital before the emergency response team arrived.
Additionally, two tow trucks were deployed to remove the damaged buses from the road, ensuring traffic could flow smoothly again.
