It can be both but one does not cause the other

Tyre wey done wear don wear

Based on our in-house Physicists any car wey blow tyre above 85mph will flip

A40:
The irony is you overspeeding and the person driving normally you can never get there more than 15 minutes earlier

pocohantas:
Most definitely a case of wrong overtaking.
My guess is he already wanted to overtake from afar. He must have been approaching the slow vehicle on the speed lane. Then at the last minute switched to the other lane. Realising the truck wasn't moving, he swerved and landed on the median. He/they were definitely on high speed. That wasn't a case of bad road.

It is a very sad one. I doubt AJ would recover from this. What would he tell their loved ones?

In the latest Tennis match battle of the sexes

Sabalenka women number 1 player Kyrgios Men number 600 who has been injured for the better part of the last 2 yrs

Sabalenka used the smaller side of the court,
Yet she lost in straight sets

User09:
Think you may be right about the overspeeding thing.

Just seen pictures of the vehicle; which is even a bullet proof vehicle. Sustaining that kind of impact especially if you consider that the truck that was hit was stationary.

FRSC posts on social media also alludes to overspeeding plus overtaking

izzou:
That car na bullet proof.

I doubt if the company cannot afford good tyres.

Like you said, it maybe just to reduce liability.

GloriousGbola:
You are assuming someone did not cut corners. As ac no dey work, as brand new tire is over 150k, as the bullet proof has never actually been field tested

raumdeuter:
Plenty dead bodies by roadsides that people are used, Might be victims of road robbery, thieves caught and burnt or even Aboki that fell from a trailer

One time in School an AIESEC exchange student came from Holland, on her way to Lagos, the car passed by a dead body, She screamed and called attention to it and everyone else just dismissed it as just another dead body, She couldn't say a word and was in Shock till she got to Lagos

Ibime:
We are Nigerians, seeing dead bodies is part of our upbringing, e no dey shock us.

Any car hitting that truck at 80km/hr will be totalled

It is also possible that naija corner corner came info the matter. They were all in boxer shorts - likely because the armoured cars ac had failed. I remember reading that this also happened to paddy adenuga. And armoured car windows cannot be wound down

An accident in a luxury car is something you are supposed to walk away from. I doubt any airbag deployed in that car. An armored car is supposed to be able to survive an rpg if I am not mistaken.

So there may also be a case of a dud armoured car. And where is the driver in all of this?

The way Tinubu dey update his Twitter handle on this AJ matter, God help us, because I've never seen him tweet like this on any national emergency..

User09:
A faulty and dud car would really be bad if that were the case but I doubt that would surprise anyone given how reckless these guys can be.

About the bolded, read that the driver did survive and is part of those receiving medical attention.

My theory based on what I have read so far is that the driver did try to overtake while speeding then had a burst tyre and swerved to the right where the stationary truck was to limit damage. Could also be why those that died from the impact were those on the right side of the vehicle

AJ’s accident and the deaths brings bad memories for me.

In 2019, this was exactly how we lost David Nwosu aka Iko Mmi, a kid I knew personally, like personally and a very close friend of Kelechi Iheanacho.

They were returning from clubbing in the early hours of the morning and hit a stationary trailer. That death hit me a different way.

Keep resting Daedo! My heart goes to the families of AJ’s friends. Losing a loved one, worsestill in a foreign land has to really really hurt.

OnwD

raumdeuter:
Sorry bro

I think Dagrin died in a similar circumstance

Also an ex colleague and friend in Nigeria also died in similar circumstance in 2019 ran into a truck

Jamie248:

So Lagos state government Ambulance got to the site of accident even before Ogun state government's ambulance did ?

Omo! Ogun state under Dapo Abiodun no just get anything good going on for them.

The gap has always been there.

Lagos State has far more resources than Ogun State.

Lagos State government policies have better continuity from governor to governor than Ogun State policies.

Tinubooboo Lagos State elects picks governors who are intrinsically more competent than Ogun state governors, practically every time.

GloriousGbola:
Kind of a bummer on democracy.

izzou:
Another thing very common in Lagos, is that companies usually assist in emergency responses when they can

These companies have an ambulance or fire truck, and Incase of emergencies around their location, they assist swiftly.

I have seen banks in Lagos Island deploy their firetrucks to put out fires in the market. One time, a gas tanker fell close to Agbara, and Nestle PLC fire truck was the first to be on site.

With all the numerous companies on Lagos Ibadan expressway, no one had an ambulance to dispatch to the accident site.

Well, I am not surprised. Na Chinese companies full there.

On a lighter note -
