2 Nairalanders Escaped A Terrible Car Accident by Lazyreporta(m): 9:00am On Nov 07, 2017
Have you ever came close to death?
Yesterday, myself and my friend left Abuja to kaduna on official duty which was my first day of going to kaduna. While we were going, he kept telling me how bad the road was but I maintained 120-140km/hr till we got there.

After 5pm we were through in kaduna and starts coming back to Abuja.
Now I have heard how notorious kaduna express road is and it's just about 2hours drive to Abuja. My friend drove, just about 20mins later he said 'OMO I DEY 180 O' in all honesty, I didn't say a word. Then he remembered how we lost a friend to car accident , LADI (RIP) last year, he was among the Eksu student that died when their car hit a bus. So he said but I am on 180km/hr na, so what's here that people can't control Less than a minutes we suddenly saw a huge and dip pothole , he tried to dodge it but we were to close so he lost control.
Trying to balance the car on 180 but the front tire bursts, and the car headed straight to the bush. SARS on that road with other people rush down to the scene to see dead people but to their surprises we walked out unhurt.
One Ibrahim said 'keep praying to that una God' nobody could explain how we survived and even the car wasn't really damaged.
The SARS officials told us how notorious that pothole was and how many people had died due to the bad road.
They helped us fix the car and we started moving.
The alignment got so bad that the tires weren't straight again but we kept moving on 40km/hr. We got to dikko and another tire bursts. We got another one and managed to get home around 12am.

Here's the car after we were rescued. No much damage. I can't explain what happened really but I guess it was an answer to his question.

After all it's not big for nothing anyways, BIGDADDY!

We were lucky but others may not.
Be careful on the wheels and go jejely.
We don't have government so take care of yourself.

Driving at such speed on a road ridden with potholes is a sign of immaturity. You guys should have slept in Kaduna instead of putting your life at risk..
