Most these company drivers are very reckless while driving and I wonder how they recruit them nowadays.... Most of them don't pay attentions to the signs being given by their vehicles before they start speeding as if they're being chased by unseen forces......
RIP to the dead......

Burst tyre when on high speed have killed countless number of people . I guess the impact of a burst tyre threw the Nissan bus into the lane of GIG resulting in the head on collision and most Nigerians don’t wear seat belts so they are lucky only one person died as it normally throws many from the windows with their heads smashing into the coal tar with full force
