A high‑speed collision in Nigeria has claimed the lives of a tricycle rider and four passengers after a Lexus 350 reportedly crossed into the opposite lane and slammed into an oncoming tricycle.

According to a witness, the driver of the Lexus was traveling at a dangerous speed when the vehicle veered into the wrong lane and struck the tricycle. The impact was fatal for the rider and all four passengers aboard the tricycle.

Tricycles, also known as "keke" or "okada," are a common form of public transport in many Nigerian cities, often carrying several passengers at a time. Incidents involving motor vehicles and tricycles have raised concerns about road safety and driver conduct.

Authorities have not yet released further details or identified the driver. The incident was first reported by Premium Times Nigeria.
