Car crashes into Lagos building, leaves four severely injured

Four adult males have suffered serious injuries in an accident involving a Lexus vehicle on Liasu Road in the Lagos State neighbourhood of Idimu.

According to PUNCH Metro, the incident occurred on Sunday at roughly five in the morning.

 When the car lost control, veered off the road, and crashed into a store in front of a nearby Catholic church, it was reportedly travelling at top speed.

 Some of the people who were still asleep in the building behind the shop were impacted by the damage caused by the crash.

Our correspondent was informed by eyewitnesses that the occupants suffered injuries of differing severity during the incident.

The injured victims were labourers who were employed to work in the building located on the premises, according to eyewitness Sodiq Aderemi.

He said, “The vehicle was coming from the Council bus stop when it got to this point and crashed into the shop. It destroyed all the goods in the shop. The people living in the building behind the shop were labourers and they were close to 15. They work in an uncompleted building on the premises and sleep there at night. While four of them were seriously injured, two others fell unconscious. They were later resuscitated after a while. The bricks of the fence fell on them while they were still sleeping.”

 It was reported that the injured victims were brought to the hospital and are now being treated there.

The driver managed to flee the scene of the accident without being hurt, but locals caught up with him.
