Eyewitnesses said the fully loaded truck lost control while approaching the busy junction, ramming into several vehicles before crushing the couple’s car. The impact of the collision was severe, leaving the vehicle badly mangled and trapping the occupants inside.
Emergency responders and bystanders rushed to the scene to rescue the victims. The husband was pulled out unresponsive and was later confirmed dead, while his wife, who sustained serious injuries, was quickly transported to a nearby hospital for urgent medical attention.
Officials are said to be investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash, particularly the reported brake failure. The incident caused heavy traffic along the expressway as authorities worked to clear the wreckage and restore normal movement.
The tragic loss has once again raised concerns about vehicle maintenance and road safety, especially involving heavy-duty trucks operating on busy highways in Lagos.
