A family of five have been killed in an auto crash on the Lagos-Badagry road in Lagos State.

Father, mother and their three children died in the crash which occurred on Sunday night at Agemowo, Buhari estate in Badagry.

Badagry unit commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Suleiman Taiwo, said they died in the toyota sienna bus which was conveying them to Agbara.

According to Taiwo, the Toyota Sienna with registration number JJJ 947 HM was coming from Agbara when it rammed into a Volvo truck, with registration number T-8101 LA.

The unit commander said the driver of the car rammed into the stationary truck due to poor visibility.

“The unit was alerted of the accident at about 8:45 pm and we arrived on the scene at 9:00pm.

“The accident was fatal, father, mother and their sons were rushed to the General Hospital in Badagry, where they were confirmed dead by the doctor on duty,” he said.

The unit commander appealed to the Lagos State Government and well-meaning Nigerians to provide towing vehicles for the command in Badagry.

“Trucks plying Agbara-Badagry expressway always develop a fault on the expressway and without a tow vehicle, we cannot move them from the road.

“It is difficult to get the vehicle in this axis but if we have a towing vehicle it will be easy for us to move them out of the roads,” he said.
