An eighteen seater Hummer bus loaded with passengers was swept inside a culvert at Lagos park axis of Enugu-Onitsha express road following Sunday night downpour, killing seventeen out of eighteen passengers on board, IgbereTV reports.

Eighteen people were in the bus and only two people were found while they were trying to break the culvert filled with debris to pull out others trapped.

One survivor (a woman) was rushed to Toronto hospital, Upper Iweka while rescue operation continued.

Speaking on the incident, the Medical Director of Toronto Hospital, Onitsha, Dr. Emeka Eze, advised drivers to be perceptive to the nature of roads and routes noting that some portions of the road are bad and the environmental condition not conducive during rainy season.

The heavy down pour on Sunday night was terrible to say the least. this kind of accident shouldn't be happening if Nigeria has good roads

All these katakata going on in Anambra these days calls for a sober reflection amongst the people. let them seek god, return to Him and let em fast and pray that their sins be forgiven and their land be cleansed cuz it's obvious their sins have reached the ears of their Creator angry

Jeez!!! This a huge tragedy, I wonder why our SE governors are still embracing this open drain system. This tragedy could've been averted. RIP to the dead, this should be a wakeup call to every authorities in Anambra. Igbo lives are too precious to loose

Those idiotic politicians will travel abroad and see how things are done there but they wont replicate same when they get home. That open drainage is a hazard that should be taken care of but unfortunately our politicians dont care about the masses. This happens every year
