4 KILLED, NINE OTHERS SERIOUSLY INJURED IN LAGOS AUTO CRASH

No fewer than four people have been confirmed dead and nine others seriously injured after a truck collided with a fully-loaded commercial bus at the Ojota end of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Thursday. We learnt that the driver of the unregistered Iveco truck was at top speed when he lost control and rammed into the back of the LT bus, with number plate KRD 326 XG.


 Five others, who sustained minor injuries, were reportedly treated and discharged by the rescue agencies which responded to the emergency.

--> witness, who identified himself simply as Bode, said the accident happened around 5am. He explained that the truck, after crushing the bus, somersaulted three times and skidded off the road. He said, “Both vehicles were going inward the Toll gate area. The truck driver was, however, at full speed when he lost control. While trying to manoeuvre, he hit the bus from the back.


 The vehicle was mangled.

 “The collision made the truck somersault three times. It moved to another lane, but no vehicle was approaching; that minimised the damage. It came to a stop after hitting a tree.” Another witness, Seyi, said while three people died on the spot, the fourth victim died in an ambulance on the way to a hospital. “I could not even look at the casualties, because the scene was too gory,” he added.
