A couple on Wednesday escaped death after a container fell on their Lexus Jeep at the Toyota bus stop on the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.

The Director of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Margaret Adeseye, in a statement on Thursday, stated that the incident occurred in the evening.

According to her, the agency received a distress call at about 6:35 pm and promptly responded to the scene, leading to the rescue of the couple from the wreckage of their vehicle.
