Two dead as bus splits into two after colliding with trailer in another Lagos-Ibadan expressway horror accident


Two persons have reportedly lost their lives in a horrific auto crash along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The unfortunate incident happened when a commercial bus plying one-way rammed into a trailer.

The bus which was coming from Lagos inward Ogun State split into two after colliding with the trailer, killing two passengers on board.

According to the Punch, the accident occurred around 7pm. Bodies were also being loaded inside a truck.

When contacted, the Federal Road Safety Corps Sector Commander, Babatunde Farinloye, confirmed the incident and said, “two people died and 14 persons were injured.”

The driver of the fully loaded 18-seater bus with number plate AKD-11-XA was said to have avoided the traffic at Berger inward Ogun when he diverted to the one-way route.

He however tried to avoid the police officers on his way close to Kara Bridge when it collided with an oncoming truck.

The deceased victims have been evacuated by officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps, while the injured passengers were taken to the hospital.

In a similar development, no fewer than five persons were on Wednesday killed by a speeding truck, along the Epe/Ijebu-Ode expressway of Ogun State.

It was gathered that the crash involved an unmarked truck, a low-bed Benz belonging to a construction company, marked BWR 281XC and a motorbike.

The State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement (TRACE) Corps confirmed the incident to newsmen in Abeokuta.

TRACE Spokesperson, Babatunde Akinbiyi, blamed the crash on “excessive speeding” on the part of the truck driver.

Relying on an eyewitness account, Akinbiyi said the multiple deaths in the accident were caused by excessive speed on the part of the empty Mack truck coming from Epe, which crossed the median to hit the truck moving inbound Epe while at the same time, crushed a commercial motorcycle moving inbound Epe, too.”

He said law enforcement agents have evacuated the remains of the victims to the General Hospital in Ijebu-Ode.

Now is not the time to place blames on speed or anything.

May their souls find eternal rest.

At the end of it all, we are alone, all a man truly has is that which he has laboured for in the service of God.
