lost their lives when another container-laden truck fell on a commercial bus on
Ojuelegba bridge in the city.
Olufemi Damilola Oke-Osanyintolu, permanent secretary, Lagos
State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), confirmed that two children were
among the casualties.
Another nine people were injured and treated in a hospital.
Different containers have been involved in accidents on the
bridge in the past.
Reacting to the latest accident, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, promised that barricades would be constructed on the bridge to restrict the movement of articulated vehicles.
