A truck driver and his assistant escaped death when their vehicle tumbled along the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway on Tuesday.
The accident, according to the Commandant of the Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency, Seni Ogunyemi, occurred at about 7 am on Tuesday.
Ogunyemi identified the vehicle as a MACK truck (White and Green) with number plate KTU 175 YH.
He stressed that an eyewitness account indicated that the vehicle turn-table had fallen off when it fell to a bad portion of the road.
Ogunyemi stated, “There is a lone minor RTA at Lakatabu inbound Itori, Abkeokuta-Lagos Expressway.
“Two male adults were involved and fortunately, there was no injury or fatalities.
“According to the driver, the truck’s turntable shifted from its body and fell due to the bad portion of the road.”
