Tuntheycr7: 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.
here are pix i was able to [b][/b] TOOK b4 ma fone starts sayin ba3 too low for radio services.
we spent more than hours at the spot b4 we could proceed with our journey.

shoot me embarassed

Woo!!! This Jebba-Mokwa Road was BEYOND TERRIBLE 2 years ago, even early last year. So the FG has finally done it? Big Kudos to the FG and the Minister of Works then.

soul_glo:



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
fire department ke, the FRSC men said the nearest fire department wud b around 3hrs drive

I fear Jebba-Mokwa road. That's the road I fear most in Nigeria. Took it 2 or 3 times and it was an experience I will never forget.

Seems Dangote's graduate drivers recruitment is beginning to yield fruit; it's been long I heard of any of his trucks involved in an accident.

It was so saddening!
But, is a lesson to all drivers, to always drive defensively, while on the road.

The concept of our road construction is wrong and bad.
Road are just constructed for construction sake.
No Road signs, curve ahead, bumps to control over-speeding, etc.
All these leads to unnecessary death in case of accident.
I drove on west Africa highways, Ghana precisely and I discovered that rate of accident on major highways is very minimal compared to similar road in Nigeria with same capacity.
After proper study, I appreciate the way the road was constructed, road signs and accident preventive measures taken.
You can't run 140km/hr for more than 30mins before a bump, curve and other things slows you down.
Unlike our roads where you can't predict where there are curves and where there are none.
Sometimes, yu just meet bump suddenly.
