Tears as father, mother, 3 children die in fatal road crash

A family of five have lost their lives in a fatal road accident in Lagos-Badagry expressway on Sunday.

According to NAN, the accident which occurred on Sunday night killed father, mother and their three children when their Toyota Sienna veered into a truck parked on the roadside

Mr Sulaiman Taiwo, the Unit Commander, Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Badagry, stated that the accident occurred around Agemowo, Buhari Estate, Badagry, Lagos.

He said the Toyota Sienna with registration number JJJ 947 HM was coming from Agbara when it veered into a Volvo truck, with registration number T-8101 LA.

The unit commander stressed that the driver of the car rammed into the stationary truck due to poor visibility.

“The unit was alerted of the accident at about 8:45 pm and we arrived on the scene at 9:00pm.

“The accident was fatal, father, mother and their sons were rushed to the General Hospital in Badagry, where they were confirmed dead by the doctor on duty,” he noted.

Taiwo pleaded with the Lagos State Government and well-meaning Nigerians to provide towing vehicles for the command in Badagry.

“Trucks plying Agbara-Badagry expressway always develop a fault on the expressway and without a tow vehicle, we cannot move them from the road.

“It is difficult to get the vehicle in this axis but if we have a towing vehicle it will be easy for us to move them out of the roads,” he said.
