It was a sad tale over the weekend in Lagos around Ijora Costain axis of the city when a commercial bus had a fatal accident while on full speed. The driver was said to have lost control of the vehicle and made a head-on collision with a huge with a rigged pole by the side of the road. This caused so much damage to the front of the vehicle and not less than three people were injured in the accident.

The most affected of the injured was a young guy who sat beside the driver. He was so unfortunate he got stuck in the wreckage of the vehicle. It took a very long time to get him out after much effort by concerned road users. Emergency lines were called several times and the response was the number was not reachable.

He was eventually taken off the wreckage by a team of vehicle towers that were called to the scene of the accident. an ambulance arrived, but not until the victim had been rescued and in a very critical condition.

He was later taken away in the ambulance for further treatment.

Thank God for his life. A similar incident occurred 2 years ago along lagos-abeokuta expressway involving an LT commercial bus and a trailer. 2 guys were inside the LT bus( the driver and his conductor I guess). They were coming from a naming ceremony on a Sunday evening . They didn't work that day. suddenly they rammed into a trailer that was trying to enter the highway. The 2 guys passed out and fire was already coming out of the engine with thick smoke. That day, I realised how useless some lagosians could be. Instead of getting close to them and draw them out of the vehicle, they stayed aloof. Some were even taking a picture of the accidented bus and posting it on social media, instead of coming to the aid of those guys who had run into coma. I had to take a bold step and move close to the bus, not minding the consequence. By the time I opened the door, it was already hooked. The steering had clamped the legs of the driver together while the second guy had a deep cut on his forehead, facing the dashboard. I had to force the door open and call some brave guys who also assisted. Luckily, a mechanic passing by joined us and suggested we remove the battery so the engine could stop, to prevent sudden fire explosion. Eventually, the second guy came back to life, we lay him by the roadside, pouring water on him. Suddenly, he was speaking in parables, lol cos he was still unconscious. We had to look for an axe to break the dashboard before we could remove the driver's legs that were already hooked. Thank God there was no perceived damage to his legs. He too was resuscitated after we took him to a nearby hospital and was given some Infusion therapies. We had to look for a number to call on the driver's mobile. Eventually, we reached his wife and I left after their family arrived the hospital.

he was lucky. He would have died if the vehicle had cut fire considering how long it took to bring him out.

Lagos drivers and overspeeding. The worst part is when you shout at the driver to take it easy, your fellow passengers would be looking at you like you are a JJC.
