The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) announced that it rescued 1,075 injured crash victims across Lagos State in 2025. This impressive number highlights the agency's commitment to enhancing road safety and reducing traffic accidents. The statement, issued by Adebayo Taofiq, the Director of Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department, reflects the outcomes of various coordinated emergency interventions that were implemented throughout the operational year to ensure assistance for victims of road accidents.

In its attempts to fortify road safety standards, LASTMA undertook several strategies, including rapid response mechanisms and collaboration with other agencies. The operations were focused on major traffic corridors and high-risk areas, where many accidents occur, to provide prompt assistance to injured individuals. These actions not only underline LASTMA's readiness to respond to emergencies but also its proactive approach in addressing road safety concerns faced by the city.

Additionally, LASTMA reported having seized over 17,000 vehicles as part of its enforcement measures. This includes vehicles operating without proper documentation or those involved in traffic violations. The dual focus on rescue operations and vehicle seizures indicates a holistic approach to managing traffic flow and safety in Lagos, aiming to create a more secure environment for all road users, thereby highlighting the ongoing challenges and the agency's role in combating them.
