Tragedy was averted as two Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) vehicles collided in the mile 12 area of Lagos State – passengers on board made it out alive with injuries on Monday, December 9, 2019.

Naijauto gathered that the buses were headed for Ikorodu when the accident occurred at about 9:00 pm. One of the buses (250) had stopped by the bridge for passengers to alight when the other bus (200) ran into it after its brake had failed. Driver of bus 200 who pleaded anonymity reportedly stated that he had informed the management about the bus’s brake problem, but was compelled to work with it.

A passenger aboard one of the vehicles said that the damage caused by the accident was not grievous because the moving bus was not on high speed. According to her, she and other passengers on the bus were castigating the driver for driving slowly. If he had listened to them and increased his speed, the story would have been a hard one to tell.

Indeed, it is good to drive within the recommended speed limits as it reduces the rate of casualties in a crash.

What can I say?

Eko o ni baje o

Primero BRT buses colliding with one another is becoming too rampant. What's wrong with the management? Do we need to bring back Ambode or Fashola to run Lagos?

God's protection will keep us all.
