A falling 40-feet container killed a yet-to-be-identified woman at the rear of the car at the Lagos end of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Friday.

Her driver, however, survived the accident unhurt, the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has stated. The accident was said to have occurred as a result of high speed on the part of the 40-foot-full-loaded container driver.

In a statement by LASTMA Director of Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department, Adebayo Taofiq, the driver of the Mack articulated truck, along with his motor boy, fled the scene as soon as the accident occurred.

It reads: “A fully loaded 40ft Mack articulated truck today fell onto a Nissan Car (ABJ 692 BG) and instantly k+lled a woman at the rear of the car, while the car driver survived unhurt with support from the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) Officials at N.N.P.C. inward Estate, Alapere, Lagos.
