A yet-to-be-identified driver miraculously escaped death on Monday morning when a 40-foot container fell onto his Toyota Camry with registration number LSR 293 HJ at Mile 2, en route to Apapa Ports.

The accident, which occurred around 8 a.m., drew immediate attention and intervention from the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), and the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA). Eyewitnesses confirmed that the driver was promptly rescued from the wreckage.

Emergency responders rushed the victim to a nearby hospital, where he received medical attention. Officers from the Kirikiri Police Division provided security during the rescue operation, ensuring a safe environment for emergency teams to work.

The damaged Toyota Camry was successfully removed from under the container, and by 9:30 a.m., efforts to evacuate the fallen container were ongoing. LASTMA officials managed the scene to alleviate traffic congestion and restore normalcy in the busy area.
