A big truck crashed into a small bus early Sunday morning on Old Ipaja Road near Agbotikuyo. The truck carried a huge container and could not stop because its brakes stopped working. The crash killed the bus driver right away. Three people riding the bus got hurt but survived the accident.

Lagos traffic officials confirmed the truck had registration number MUS 729 XY. The truck driver tried to run away after the crash happened. Traffic police caught him and gave him to regular police officers. Officers from Elere and Area G police stations came to help handle everything.

The crash blocked most of the road and caused huge traffic jams. Cars backed up on nearby streets like Shofunde and Olufunlayo. Traffic workers quickly changed how cars moved to reduce the backup. Emergency teams from different agencies worked together to clear the scene.

Rescue workers took the three hurt passengers to doctors for checkups. The passengers looked okay but doctors wanted to make sure they were fine. Emergency crews also removed the dead driver from the crash site. Police secured the area and helped traffic start moving again.

Transportation advisor Sola Giwa said sorry to the dead driver's family. He told truck companies they must check their vehicles better before driving. Giwa said brake systems need careful inspection on all big trucks. The state government wants stronger safety rules and better emergency response teams.
