In Lagos State, a tragic collision between a truck and a commercial bus on the Lekki–Epe Expressway has resulted in the deaths of four male passengers. The accident occurred when the driver of the truck lost control of the vehicle, causing it to veer into the bus. The incident has raised concerns about road safety and the enforcement of traffic regulations in the state, especially given the frequency of such accidents.

According to the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), the truck, identified by its registration number KNN 313 YL, collided with a fully loaded Suzuki minibus known locally as 'Korope' opposite Beechwood, Shapati, in the Ajah area. Witnesses reported that the impact was severe, leaving four passengers dead on the scene and several others injured, prompting questions about the circumstances that led to the driver's loss of control and the potential for increased safety measures on local roads.

The fleeing driver has yet to be apprehended, which complicates efforts to fully investigate the causes of the crash and hold those responsible accountable. This incident underscores ongoing concerns about road safety in Nigeria, where the combination of heavy traffic, poorly maintained vehicles, and inadequate regulatory enforcement often leads to catastrophic accidents. The authority's statement and community reactions may push for renewed calls for better driver training and stricter penalties for reckless driving in the region.
