I witnessed this tragic road accident a few minutes ago. The affected transport vehicle is Peace Mass Transit. The driver broke his left leg, most of the passengers were badly injured and some died.

We met the bus badly damaged, lying sideways. A driver who witnessed the start of the whole tragedy said the driver of the bus overtook his trailer in "mad speed" then his tyre exploded and he swerved into the bush. He came back to the road, with the same speed, and crashed into one of those slabs demarcating the roads. The impact lifted the bus into the air, it somersaulted and crashed. Many of the passengers were stuck and the driver was caught in the door.

I dialled the Nigeria emergency number, 112 no connection. Others, helped lift the bus and move the accident victims. Thirty minutes or more later, the Federal Road Safety Corps showed up with an ambulance.

Such a sad, horrible sight. Pandemonium everywhere.
These people were probably travelling to join their loved ones for the approaching festivities.

Really sad

What a sad news. I refuse to be a victim of casualty.
