Over a dozen of students of the Olabisi Onabanjo
University (OOU) Ago – Iwoye, were crushed to death k
and others gravely injured on Friday when a container fell
on a passenger bus conveying them.
The Nation gathered that the un latched 20-feet container
from a moving truck came off when the driver was driving
against traffic and in a bid to avoid an obstruction at the
Sagamu stretch of the Lagos/Benin expressway, the load
tipped and dropped lethally atop of the bus’ roof.
The weighty container press – pinned the bus to the
ground in the accident, which occurred few meters away
from the gate of a plastic manufacturing company
situating near the Ilisha Remo junction.
The vehicles were a truck marked (LAGOS) BDG 779 XE and
a Toyota Haiace passenger bus bearing (Lagos) XV 311
MUS.
It was learnt that the OOU students were travelling to
Lagos state for the weekend when they met their untimely
death.
The Ijebu – Ode Commander of the Ogun state Traffic
Management and Compliance Agency (TRACE), Tommy
Hamzat told reporters that the driver of the container
laden drove against the traffic.
Hamzat added that the wrong driving made it difficult for
the passenger bus driver to notice the approaching truck
and eventually collided with it.
