Operatives of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) have rescued two injured pedestrians hit by a drunk driver as they were crossing the expressway with their luggage.

Mr Sola Giwa, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, confirmed this in a statement on Saturday in Lagos.

The statement was signed by Mr Taofiq Adebayo, Director, Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department of LASTMA.

Giwa said the accident occured near Mayfair Garden, heading towards the Epe area of Lagos.

He added that the accident, which occurred around 6:30 a.m., involved a Toyota Camry (YAB 133 JY) and a commercial LT Bus (SMK 84 YB).

He said the two injured pedestrians who were rescued from the main Lekki-Epe Expressway, suffered from severe fractures on their legs and arms.

“Preliminary investigations revealed that the driver of the Toyota Camry lost control of the vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, striking the pedestrians as they were crossing the expressway with their luggage.

“The driver still speeding after the initial collision, then crashed into a commercial LT bus that was dropping passengers at a nearby bus stop,” he said.

He said that LASTMA monitoring team, after ensuring that the injured pedestrians were transported to Akodo General Hospital, promptly arrested the Toyota Camry driver.

Giwa said the driver arrested along with two other occupants were handed over to officers from the Elemoro Police Station.

He added that both vehicles were quickly removed from the expressway by LASTMA personnel to allow for the free flow of traffic towards Epe.

He extended his sympathies to the victims and emphasised the importance of road safety, urging all motorists, including commercial bus drivers, to refrain from driving under the influence of alcohol. (NAN)(
