Boy, three others killed as container falls on Okada

The injured woman being rescued on Wednesday

A three-year-old boy and three others were killed on Wednesday when a containerised trailer lost its truckhead on Kara Bridge  on the Lagos-Ibadan Express way.

The truckhead plunged into the nearby river, while the container fell on a motorcycle on which the boy and her mother were riding. The woman and the motorcyclist are lying critically ill in hospital.

The remaining part of the truck crashed into the road median, causing traffic gridlock for hours.
