On Saturday, April 26, 2025, a fully-laden truck with registration number GGE 624 YJ fell off the Pen Cinema Bridge in Lagos State, resulting in severe injuries to the driver. The incident occurred along Agege, Old Abeokuta Road, when the driver lost control of the vehicle while navigating the bridge. The truck plunged from the bridge, landing on two commercial buses stationed beneath.

The driver sustained grievous fractures to both hands and was promptly rescued by officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA). He was handed over to the Elere Police Division and subsequently transported to the General Hospital, Ile-Epo, for urgent medical attention.

In response to the accident, LASTMA personnel swiftly secured the scene by cordoning off the area and diverting vehicular traffic to prevent further incidents. The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) Response Unit later cleared the wreckage, restoring normal traffic flow along the axis.

The General Manager of LASTMA, Olalekan Bakare-Oki, expressed concern over the incident and urged motorists, especially truck operators, to exercise heightened vigilance, particularly during the rainy season. He emphasized the importance of adhering to road safety protocols and complying with the newly installed speed-limiting devices to mitigate accidents and promote collective road safety.

This incident underscores the ongoing challenges of road safety in Lagos, highlighting the need for continuous efforts to enforce traffic regulations and ensure the safety of all road users.​
