4 Students Killed As Epileptic Driver Crashes Into Trailer After Seizure by Samsimple(m): 12:32pm On Mar 18, 2018 |
Tragedy struck in Ilorin, Kwara state over the weekend when a taxi driver suffering from epilepsy reportedly rammed his cab into an oncoming trailer, which ran over the taxi and instantly killed all five occupants who are reported to be students, including the driver. It was gathered that the four other victims were students of the Mass Communications Department of the Kwara State Polytechnic, said to be returning home after finishing their examinations. They were said to have boarded the taxi from the polytechnic gate to Oke-Ose area, on the outskirts of Ilorin, where the students reside. The victims had reportedly said they would travel to Lagos on that fateful day to meet their families, having completed their examinations. Eyewitness accounts said that the driver was seen behaving strangely behind the wheel after he took off from the polytechnic gate, and had to force the cab to a stop, a development that prompted the students to disembark from the cab. However, following the interventions of passers-by and other colleagues of the driver, the students agreed to continue the journey. The driver was also reported to have said he would go home and take care of himself immediately he dropped off the students. But after driving for a few kilometres, it was gathered that the driver suffered a seizure, while the taxi was on top speed. The cab, which lost control, initially hit a vulcanizer’s machine, which was by the roadside, before it swerved to the other side of the road, this time in front of an oncoming trailer, which crushed all the five occupants. Sympathisers at the scene of the accident used an axe to cut through the squeezed taxi cab to remove the remains of the students and the taxi driver. The corpses had been deposited at the nearby University of Ilorin Teaching hospital mortuary.

chai! The other day in Lagos, an epileptic keke maruwa driver also had the seizure and rolled under the tire of a truck. It was later that his fellow riders confirmed his ailment. Everybody has his own problem, but we are not to allow our own challenges to affect others. Why should an epileptic person get behind the wheel...not to talk of even operating as a taxi driver? The so called NURTW union can even allow a blind man to drive, their own is to collect dues. 69 Likes |

beetown: Is it that some of you don't know how to read or have comprehension problem? . It was clear stated that the driver showed the sign not quite long after taking off from the school gate that the passengers had to disembark, but due to the intervention of passers by they all agreed to board the bus again, after which the sign showed up again, and this time around it became uncontrollable and the vehicle ran into trailer. Hope you get it now 5 Likes 1 Share |

Eyewitness accounts said that the driver was seen behaving strangely behind the wheel after he took off from the polytechnic gate, and had to force the cab to a stop, a development that prompted the students to disembark from the cab.There were signs that this man was not okay.... Once a driver is sick and also shows warning signs about his illness,the best thing was to disembark like they did initially.... They should have insisted on boarding another cab despite the pleas from passers-by...Now their lives have been cut short simply because of our unrepentant attitude towards our own life and that of others.... We see the wrong things every day and instead of doing the right thing,we say "MAKE WE MANAGE AM" ! We see a smoking airplane or an unstable vehicle or a shaky keke.....instead of insisting that U will move with a good and functioning means of transportation,we fall prey to the usually helpless phrase like "make we manage am" or "abeg i dey hurry" or "you go wait tire ohhh" See how "make we manage am" has claimed the lives of these students! This should be a very huge lesson to everyone....we like taking things for GRANTED in this country! 6 Likes 1 Share |
