Scene of the accident

No fewer than three traders were killed on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway after a truck crashed into a van loaded with pepper.

We learnt that the van with number plate, ZUR901XA, was conveying the traders inward Lagos State when the truck rammed into it in the Warewa area of Ogun State, killing the three traders on the spot.

The driver of the van was said to have been injured in the crash which happened around 3am on Wednesday while the truck driver fled the scene.

It was gathered that the remains of the deceased, whose names had yet to be ascertained, were later taken away by officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Lagos Command, while the van’s driver was rushed to a hospital.

An eyewitness, Seye Adeleke, said he saw three bodies on the road, adding that the driver of the van was unconscious.

He said, “I was coming from Ibadan around 5am when I saw pepper on the road. Three lifeless bodies were also lying on the road. A man I met there said they were traders and that they were crushed by a truck. The van driver was bleeding profusely.”

A member of a vigilance group in the area, who identified himself only as Bayo, said he was close to the expressway when he heard the sound of the crash. He said the truck driver waited for a moment, but sped off before he could cross to the side of the road where the accident occurred.

“I shone torch to get the truck’s number plate, but I did not succeed. All the four passengers in that van were males. Only the driver is alive and he was seriously injured. Some FRSC officials later came to pack their corpses and take the driver to a hospital,” he said.

The Lagos State Sector Commander of the FRSC, H.U. Omeje, confirmed the accident and urged motorists to be cautious while driving.

He said, “At about 3.30am, our men got information of a crash involving a Mitsubishi pickup with number plate, ZUR 901 XA. Four people were involved. Three died instantly while the only survivor sustained injuries.”

Fatal

So bad

Dat's bad

God!!! save us from HIT and RUN

so sad..

I just wonder how many people still die natural death in Nigeria, how many people grow to full old age. If you escape road accident, you meet with robbers, then if you manage to escape them, the police are waiting to succeed where the robbers failed. Then if you finally get home, the chances that your neighbour is a blood thirsty witch or ritualist are high. When you escape them, mosquitoes are waiting to send you to the Doctors, and the staff in the hospital will be more than ready to treat with the wrong medications....when you escape this, terrrorist are lying in wait to shred your meat to little tiny pieces of pulp and of blood...and so on and so forth...
Our dear nation is like a death trap, heaven needs to declare a state of emergency on her.

Na wa oooo wetin dey happen dis days. God be with Us.

RIP to the dead

Thank God it's not Dangote truck.
