The two passengers of a truck escaped death in the early hours of Thursday, after their vehicle broke the side of the Maryland overhead bridge and fell unto the BRT lane along Ikorodu road.

No casualty was recorded in the accident which occurred between 2:30 and 3am.

Officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA and state emergency management agencies arrived at the scene to clear what was left of the truck which broke into pieces upon impact.

The accident caused some traffic for commuters travelling towards Yaba, as the debris from the accident forced them into a single lane.

Eye witnesses said that the truck was speeding and lost control as it tried to negotiate the bend in front of Oando filling station.

They also said that the driver of the truck was trying to avoid being stopped by the Police when it swerved off the road.
