A vehicle has skidded off the Lagos Third Mainland Bridge and plunged into the lagoon.
The Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, while confirming the incident to PREMIUM TIMES, stated that the accident happened at the Adekunle junction of the bridge.
“A private vehicle fell into the water. Rescue people have sighted the vehicle and are trying to pull it out,” said Sadiq Abdulrahman, FRSC Unit Commander Lagos Island.
Unconfirmed reports say it was two Sport Utility Vehicles, but Mr. Abdulrahman said that more details would be known after rescue operations.
Witnesses say one body had been recovered from the lagoon and rushed to a nearby hospital.
one body? body means "it's" dead… "then rushed" to the hospital… sounds like a grammatical error…
