At least 10 passengers sustained injuries in a multiple-vehicle crash on the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos, on Wednesday, while emergency responders averted a possible train collision at Ilupeju Bypass after a commercial bus broke down on a railway track.

The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) said the bridge accident occurred on Wednesday morning when a commercial bus stopped to repair a faulty tyre and was rammed by another bus.

According to the agency, emergency responders administered first aid to the injured passengers and evacuated them to hospital for treatment.
