A Traffic Warden attached to
Oke-Odo Police Station, Insp Peter Ajewole, who was at the scene of the
accident said that a vehicle with registration number KSF821XM rammed into a
tricycle with registration number APP926QD.
An unidentified teenage
girl was on Tuesday killed in a road accident at about 6.30 a.m. along Abule
Egba – Ekoro Road in Lagos.
He said, “I was controlling
traffic here around 6.30 a.m., I saw the truck coming from Abule –Egba on top
speed and the driver was unable to control it.
“This may be due to break
failure and it rammed into the tricycle and killed the girl.
“We have called relevant
authorities and the family of the victim to inform them about the accident.”
Ajewole said that the case
had been reported to the Divisional Traffic Officer and the truck driver had
been arrested.
However, there were no
Lagos State Maintenance Agency officials around the scene of the incident at
the time of filling this report.
Meanwhile, traffic around
the axis had built up due to the ugly incident.
