A heavy-duty truck involved in a lone accident has blocked a major road in Lagos, authorities of the agency managing emergencies in the state have said.<\/p>\n

The Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Dr Olufemi Damilola Oke-Osanyintolu, disclosed this in a statement on Friday.<\/p>\n

Narrating how the crash took place, Oke-Osanyintolu who did not state the time of the incident said it occurred on the inward section of the Palmgrove \u2013 Obanikoro end along the poplar Ikorodu Road.<\/p>\n

He added that the agency swiftly deployed a team of responders to the scene where it was discovered that the truck conveying two payloaders was the only vehicle involved in the accident.<\/p>\n

The truck was reported to have lost control and rammed into a culvert along the road as a result of a brake failure.<\/p>\n

Although no death was recorded, the LASEMA boss said the truck blocked an entire lane, including the dedicated section of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT).<\/p>\n

According to him, the agency is working with its heavy-duty equipment crane and super metro to take the impediment off the busy road in a bid to restore the regular flow of traffic on the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
