A woman died and four others were injured in a collision between two Toyota Sienna commercial vehicles on the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos. The crash happened early Tuesday near the Iyana-Iworo axis. Both vehicles were fully occupied at the time. Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) confirmed the incident through its Head of Public Affairs, Olawale Afolabi. He said the injured were taken to a nearby trauma centre for urgent medical care. Preliminary findings indicate reckless driving caused the head-on crash. LASEMA's Tiger Squad from the C3 Command was activated at 7:26 a.m. and arrived at the scene by 8:00 a.m. Emergency responders worked with police and Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) officials to secure the area, manage traffic, and remove wreckage. Afolabi quoted Permanent Secretary of LASEMA, Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, describing the crash as avoidable. He urged drivers to follow traffic rules, avoid speeding and dangerous overtaking, and maintain lane discipline.
