The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority confirmed the incident in a post on its official X account on Tuesday, explaining that the 40-foot truck collided with the buses travelling inward Mowe.
According to LASTMA, the vehicles were carrying passengers when the crash occurred, prompting the evacuation of casualties to an emergency unit for medical attention.
