He said preliminary investigation revealed that the driver of the commercial bus was on a top speed and lost control due to brake failure, after noticing the stationary truck ahead.
 
He confirmed that LASTMA officials rescued eight injured accident victims, two males and six females.
 
“Immediately after the accident, LASTMA officials with support from police officers from Anthony Police Command quickly intervened and rescued eight injured victims in the commercial mass transit bus.
 
“The accident victims were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention,” he added.
 
Meanwhile, General Manager of LASTMA, Bolaji Oreagba, has sympathised with the victims.
 
He, however, enjoined the motoring public, particularly commercial bus drivers to be extra careful before overtaking on expressway.
