    The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) in collaboration with other emergency responders on Thursday, July 18, averted a catastrophic disaster, following the fall of a PMS-laden truck at the Ojota interchange ramp.

    The incident occurred around 2 pm when a truck lost control and fell, spilling its flammable content on the road.

    LASTMA officers promptly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and secure the area. Their swift action prevented any ignition sources from coming in contact with the spilled fuel, which could have led to a major explosion.

    Other responders, including the Lagos State Fire Service, the LASEMA Response Unit (LRU), Policemen from Alapere Police Station and officials of N.N.P.C quickly joined LASTMA at the site.

    Their coordinated efforts ensured that the spillage was contained and the risk to lives and property was minimized.

    LASTMA personnel efficiently diverted traffic from the danger zone preventing congestion and ensuring that no pedestrians were exposed to the hazardous spill.

    The area was immediately cordoned off to prevent any unauthorized access.

    The Lagos State Fire Service and other emergency responders’ teams deployed specialized equipment to contain the spill.

    The head of the fallen truck was safely uprighted and towed away and the road was thoroughly cleaned to eliminate any residual risks.

    The prompt response and professional handling of the situation by LASTMA and the other emergency agencies were instrumental in preventing what could have been a significant disaster.

    LASTMA’s General Manager, Olalekan Bakare-Oki who was at the scene of the accident commended the swift and coordinated efforts of all the agencies involved.

    “This incident underscores the importance of our emergency response protocols and the dedication of our officers and partners. We are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all Lagosians.”

    The General Manager however urges all drivers, especially those transporting hazardous products to exercise caution and to adhere strictly to safety regulations to prevent such incidents in the future.
