The incident, which transpired at Gbagada near Charlie Boy Bus Stop on Saturday night, resulted in three fatalities, with 15 others sustaining various degrees of injuries.

The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) confirmed the accident on Sunday, as stated by the agency’s Permanent Secretary, Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu.
