A tragic incident occurred at the Iyana Ishasi U-turn, inward Mile 2, on Tuesday, December 17, when a fully loaded Howo tipper truck lost control and fatally struck a woman standing by the roadside.

Reacting to the incident, LASTMA General Manager, Olalekan Bakare-Oki, expressed his condolences to the victim’s family, describing the loss as deeply regrettable. He urged motorists to prioritize safety through regular vehicle maintenance and strict adherence to traffic laws to prevent such avoidable tragedies.
