A tanker carrying P.M.S product probably from Ilorin, Kwara State. Today had a lone crashed along Jebba - Mokwa express road, the accident occurred around 4pm today.
31/10/13
the caused of the accident can not be unconnected with the over-speeding of the driver. he can not get total control of the tanker when he got to a sharp corner while he was driving at a top speed, all efforts by the driver to get the tanker to halt after one of the back tyre had bursted proved abortive. The trailer skidded and fell but within a twinkle of an eye the tanker exploded and behold a big and thick smoke covered all the area.
unfortunately nobody could help the poor driver, everybody was scared because of the fire, so the driver and his two friends were trapped inside the tanker. they all got burnt along with the tanker as everybody at the scene were looking helplessly as the tanker cont.s to burn.
even the FRSC men that came can do nothing but just to look and called for police men to come and join them.

Are those people on uniform road safety officials or students coming back from school?

The road was just to smooth for any driver to drive slowly.A driver told me diz tanker drivers vanish when involved in accidents(hence they drive in speed nd refuse overtaking) now I know d truth, RIP if bodies are found,and if non found

How many of them go to driving school?? Most of them learnt how to drive tankers ALL BY THEMSELVES!!!!

Pathetic but true....

slap1: RIP. Is that a Nigerian road?

is nt a nigeria road, na dubai idiataaaaah. Thank ur God dt u re nt frm niger republic.

So we still have good roads in Nigeria?

those tanker drivers. that sharp bend always.
the same thing happened at that same spot few years ago.

The road is quite okay by Nigerian standards, so it has to be overspeeding or mischance.



RIP to the dead.

Are you serious? I sincerely hope you are joking.



I would have said call the fire department. First there would be no fire department and even if they got the call they would tell you that they do not have water and even if they had water they would tell you that they have no fuel and even if they had fuel they will just tell you that the people are likely dead anyway. Sigh

May the souls of the departed rest in peace

Not used to good roads, I guess...! R.I.P to the dead
