Lekki Crash: Vehicle Catches Fire After Multiple-Car Collision

The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) reports that a multi-vehicle crash involving three vehicles occurred on Admiralty Way, near the Admiralty Roundabout, in the Lekki area.

In a statement on Monday, the agency said one of the
vehicles involved in the crash caught fire, causing serious traffic disruption
around Road 14 on Admiralty Way.

Videos circulating online show a vehicle engulfed in flames,
while two other SUVs involved in the crash were left badly damaged.

LASTMA said motorists were diverted to Road 14 to connect
Durosimi Etti Road as officers moved to manage the situation.

“Traffic is seriously affected as vehicles are being
diverted to Road 14 to connect Durosimi Etti Road,” the agency said.

The agency said it is awaiting the arrival of police force
and firefighters.

LASTMA later confirmed that firefighters had arrived at the
scene to extinguish the burning vehicle.

The agency also said traffic counterflow was temporarily
adopted to allow motorists reconnect to Admiralty Roundabout as officers
continued efforts to restore normal traffic flow.
