A tragic accident occurred today on Cater Bridge, Lagos, claiming the life of a commercial motorcyclist who was riding against traffic. The deceased, who was reportedly heading from Ebute Ero, collided head-on with a fast-moving vehicle as it ascended the bridge from Illubirin.

The impact of the collision was severe, leading to the motorcyclist’s immediate death. The driver of the vehicle involved fled the scene following the crash.

Officials from the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) arrived promptly at the scene and notified officers from the Central Police Station at Adeniji Adele and Shemo.

Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki, General Manager of LASTMA, expressed his condolences to the family of the deceased and urged the public to comply with traffic laws.
