Four hospitalised as car crashes into Lagos building

No fewer than four male adults have sustained severe injuries in an accident involving a Lexus car along Liasu road in the Idimu area of Lagos State.

Our correspondent learnt that the incident happened on Sunday at about 5 am.

The vehicle was said to be moving at top speed when it lost control, swerved off the road and rammed into a shop opposite a Catholic church along the axis.

The impact of the crash also damaged a building behind the shop thereby affecting some of its occupants who were still asleep.

Eyewitnesses told our correspondent that the occupants sustained varying degrees of injuries in the process.

The injured victims have been taken to the hospital where they are currently receiving treatment.

Although the driver escaped unhurt, he was nabbed by residents while trying to run away from the scene of the incident.
