The Lagos State Police Command has commenced an investigation into the accident that led to the death of a pregnant woman and a tricycle operator in the Okota area of Lagos, on Tuesday.
This was disclosed Tuesday evening by the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin.
The incident happened when driver of a blue Toyota Sienna bus (AKD 944 HN), apprehended by the operatives of the Lagos State Transport Management Authority (LASTMA) for traffic infraction, tried to escape.
While being escorted to LASTMA office by a policeman attached to the LASTMA patrol team for proper booking, the driver attempted to escape by diverting into Bayo Oyewale Street, by Ago Round-about. He lost control and rammed into a tricycle that the victims were onboard.
According to the police spokesperson, the officer attached to LASTMA was attacked and wounded by an angry mob.
He informed that it took the intervention of backup teams to restore order in the area.
We gathered that while the tricycle operator died instantly, the pregnant woman died later at the hospital.
The two school children who are said to be the children of the pregnant woman are currently in an intensive care unit of an unnamed hospital.
