Several Lagosians have been hospitalised after two BRT buses were involved in a head on collision during rush-hour in Nigeria’s commercial capital on Monday morning at Asolo, Ikorodu road in Lagos.

This was confirmed by the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) via their official Twitter handle.

According to the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, ” The accident involved two high capacity buses on the BRT corridor at Asolo”.

The accident which occurred on the BRT corridor resulted in traffic gridlock as onlookers flood the scene of the crash.

LASTMA has however called for patience as recovery is already ongoing.

Although the casualty figures are yet to be confirmed as at the time of this report.

This accident is coming barely a week after several persons were injured after a trailer collided with a BRT vehicle in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.

The trailer going inwards Ikorodu skidded off the main carriageway and collided with the BRT.
