The State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) has confirmed that two persons escaped death when a commercial bus rammed into a slow-moving articulated vehicle.

LASEMA Permanent Secretary, Dr OLUFEMI OKE-OSANYINTOLU, who confirmed this to newsmen said the two victims sustained various degrees of injuries.

According to him, the incident, which happened at Ojota, Maryland, Lagos around 4.45 a.m., was caused by highspeed leading to loss of control.

He said that the agency’s Tiger Response Team from the command-and-control center, Alausa, Ikeja carried out the rescue operation.

He added that the incident which caused gridlock along the highway had been cleared and the road reopened for vehicular activities before rush hour traffic.

The LASEMA boss advised motorists to always stick to traffic rules and regulations and drive safely to avoid road traffic crashes that could lead to loss of lives and property.
