After the incident, the injured passengers were first taken to a nearby private medical facility for emergency treatment, and some were later transferred to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital for further care.

Police officers from the Gowon Divisional Headquarters, officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), and local security personnel were present at the scene, coordinating rescue efforts and managing traffic flow.
