The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) reported on Wednesday that passengers involved in a crash between two Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) buses have been rescued.
Dr. Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, the agency’s Permanent Secretary, detailed the incident in a statement. The collision occurred at the Bus Rapid Transport corridor near Iyana-Ipaja, heading toward Pleasure Road.
“In response to distress calls to the agency through the 767 and 112 toll-free emergency lines at 23:39, we activated our Dolphin Response Team from the Igando Base,” Oke-Osanyintolu said.
“Upon arriving at the scene, it was found that two BRT buses, with registration numbers unknown, were involved in the accident. The investigation revealed that one BRT bus, attempting to avoid hitting a commercial motorcyclist who was illegally on the BRT corridor, collided with an incoming BRT bus.”
