The Federal Road Safety Corps has confirmed a fatal road traffic crash on the Apapa Oshodi corridor in Lagos that claimed one life and left six others injured in a late night collision on Tuesday 5 May 2026.
The crash occurred at about 22:25 hours along Isolo Okota Road axis of the busy Apapa Oshodi expressway, a major logistics route in Lagos State.
It involved a blue Mack truck and a yellow Suzuki Every commercial bus, both reportedly without registration numbers at the time of the incident.
Preliminary findings by FRSC indicate that speed violation was the immediate cause of the deadly crash, in line with recurring concerns over excessive speeding on Lagos highways.

Emergency response teams from the FRSC Apapa Unit Command arrived promptly at the scene following distress alerts and carried out rescue operations.
The injured victims were evacuated to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital in Surulere where they are currently receiving medical treatment.
