LASEMA has secured a broken down articulated truck directly under the Ikeja overhead bridge by LASUTH in an ongoing recovery operation.
The articulated truck which broke down due to a damaged right hub is laden with a 40ft container which has tilted the vehicle to the right side and constituting a great risk to other road users.
Though no lives have been lost, nor injuries recorded so far in the operation, to control and neutralize the risk at the scene of incident, LASEMA has cordoned off the area surrounding the broken down vehicle.
Aside securing the vehicle's contents, to avoid the risk posed by the hazard, LASEMA has stabilised the tilted right side of the broken down Truck with the use of the Agency's light rescue equipment.
The impact of the stability is significant as the risk of possible fall-off of the container has been completely eliminated, as well as that of secondary incident, while all avenues are being explored to resuscitate the broken down vehicle.
Other responders include LASTMA officials that are responsible for the free flow of traffic, while Officers of the Nigeria Police Force are handling security for the articulated vehicle and it's contents.
