Two container trucks overturn near Freeman Market in Lagos, killing a mother and her child. Reports say the crash happens around Mile 2/“inward Apapa” on the Apapa side, with the victims trapped beneath the overturned trucks and their containerised cargoes.
Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) describes the incident and its response, including cordoning the road and diverting traffic to limit congestion and reduce the risk of further accidents. Some outlets add that the victims’ remains are taken to the police mortuary in Yaba.
Across coverage, most outlets focus on the fatalities and LASTMA’s role at the scene, with minor differences in location wording (Freeman Market, Mile 2, inward Apapa) and in what follow-up steps are mentioned (mortuary transfer, road-clearing and traffic diversion). One outlet also highlights a call for a probe into the deadly crash.
