The collision was reported to have happened near the Badagry expressway’s Ibereko Barracks axis in Lagos State.

This was revealed to reporters by William Manga, Commander of the FRSC Badagry Unit, who also verified that the car accident happened on Monday at approximately 12:54 a.m.

He said that at 1:02 am, police arrived at the site of the collision involving a car and a truck, after the Command was notified at approximately 12:57 am.

He said, “The accident involved a Howo truck with registration number KZR73ZT and a Mazda car with registration number KTU900BK.”
