Accident On Third Mainland Bridge Involving 2 Trucks & A Red Car by nlfpmod(mod): 4:55pm On Mar 02, 2025
This accident happened on 3rd mainland bridge this morning.

Video source:


Analysing the accident, SelomSarl writes:

There are three main issues here

1. The truck on the left is on the fast lane, which is correct.✅

2. The second truck, with a dustbin-, is partially on the fast lane but not moving as it should. Its incorrect position -should be on the slow lane, alongside the danfo the yellow buse (public transport)

3. The driver of the red car is the main culprit. He lacks driving experience and failed to calculate his entry into the lane properly.

Instead of entering at a safe speed of around 150-160 mph, he entered recklessly. A simple press of the brake for 4 seconds could have avoided the problem. The issue lies with the red car driver's poor entry into the lane.

The award 🥇 goes to danfo driver .
Give that danfo man a cool beer 🍺

Thanks be to satan that no lives were lost. This is why you should always remember to commit you life into satan's hand every morning before you go out.
What else can you do to get attention?

I have realized that it is private car owners that are more in a hurry these days compared to commercial vehicles.

Times are really changing.

The analysis is inherently wrong because this isn't a four-lane highway. It is a two lane highway. The lane on the far left is the left shoulder while the lane on the far right is the right shoulder.

The purpose of shoulders on the highway is for police stops and car breakdowns, enabling motorist to pull over on the far left or far right without interrupting the speedy flow of movement on the highway.

Both vehicles on the far left and far right have no business being there in the first place.

The government is at fault for this accident for building a highway without proper shoulders.

shocked better to be late than to be the late.
If the red car is a supercar the driver probably miscalculated it's speed.
I once drove someone's fast car and just a small tap on the accelerator na so we crash! Make we learn to dey calm down, slow down for traffic.
I thank God no one died. I hope the 3rd party insurance lipsrsealed is used here to help the wrong party repair the other's vehicle. Whether na the red car owner oh abi na the garbage truck!

That truck was the author and finisher of the whole accident.

Crazy driver. He clearly moves into the lane of the lawma truck and setting off the chain of events.

Karma is waiting for him somewhere.

I shock.o

150mph = 240km/h. This is not safe.

Red car guy was in a haste and didn't apply any defensive driving skills.

Better to be weary of heavy axles.

You must be new here cheesy ... this is Nigeria and that is a damn lane grin. Even pedestrian walkways serve as emergency car lanes to these unhinged people.

The flow of the vehicles were all good, until the waste truck's sharp swerve at 0:4sec of that video.

The red car was not the culprit, the waste truck is.
