A man hit by a vehicle few minute ago is lying dead at the BRT lane at Onipanu bus stop.
An eye eyewitness said a car ran over the yet to be identified man as he attempted to cross the Lagos Ikorodu road about 10.45pm on Sunday.
The car hit the man and threw him on the BRT lane where his corpse is still lying.
"The man is wearing a shirt and trousser. He should be about middle age. He was trying to cross the road from the onipanu bus stop when a private car hit him hard and threw him on the BRT lane. He died instantly and his corpse is still on the BRT lane".
Sadly this death would have been avoided as a bridge is at the bus stop but few people make use of the overhead bridge.
Hit and run deaths happen once in a while on the busy Express road.
Another source who identified herself as Sarah express worried over hit and run death.
She said "I have seen the corpse of a pregnant woman on that Ikorodu Express road. I was driving to work early one morning when I saw it and it made me sad. People should learn to use the overhead bridge," Sarah said.
The Lagos State government has put measures in place to stop residents from dashing through the Express roads but few people still make use of the bridge. The officers of the Kick Against Indisciple brigand, as well as local government officers were deployed at major bus stops to stop people from crossing the road.
The government in some cases also set up perimeter fence to stop residents from crossing express ways but to no avail.
