An early morning accident occurred on Wednesday in the Ikoyi area of Lagos when a Tower crane collapsed onto a moving vehicle.
The incident occurred along Oba Adeyinka Oyekan Avenue as the vehicle, a black Toyota Prado SUV with registration number KSF 543 GQ, was making a left turn toward Osborne Road.
The crane, reportedly owned by Monterosa Construction Limited, fell directly onto the SUV. The company has been carrying out ongoing construction work in the area for some time.
According to eyewitnesses, including a commuter who was in a bus directly behind the Prado, the accident caused panic, but no casualties were recorded. The sole occupant of the vehicle, a man, was said to have suffered shock from the incident and was quickly rushed to the hospital. He did not sustain any physical injuries.
Authorities are expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crane collapse.
