A horrifying accident rocked Agege, Lagos, on Saturday, when a truck lost control at a sharp bend and plunged off the Agege Bridge, crashing into a crowd gathered under the bridge at the bustling Agege bus stop.

Eyewitnesses reported scenes of chaos and panic as the heavy vehicle somersaulted off the bridge and landed forcefully in the midst of commuters and traders. Several people are feared injured, and emergency responders rushed to the scene to begin rescue operations.

The truck, according to witnesses, was descending the sharp curve of the bridge at high speed when the driver appeared to lose control. In seconds, the vehicle veered off course, broke through the bridge barriers, and came crashing down onto the crowd below.

“It was like a movie. People were shouting and running everywhere,” said a bystander who narrowly escaped being hit.

At the time of this report, the full number of casualties was yet to be confirmed, but eyewitness accounts suggest multiple injuries and possible fatalities.

Residents and road users have called on the government to enforce stricter speed limits and install more safety barriers on the bridge to prevent future tragedies.

This incident marks yet another tragic reminder of the urgent need for improved road safety measures across Lagos State.
