AutosTears As 40 Persons Roast To Death In Multiple Autocrash by webmastern(op): 12:40pm On Aug 16, 2010
LAGOS—IT was a black Sunday for several families in Lagos, yesterday, as nofewer than 40 persons allegedly perished in a multiple auto crash that occurredat a police check point near Otedola Housing Estate, a few metres away fromBerger area on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.


The crash occurred after a trailer that wasallegedly trying to evade Police arrest rammed into a stationary vehicle at thepolice check point and exploded.

The accident which occurred at about 12 noon, leftover 19 vehicles including four commercial buses burnt beyond recognition whileseveral people sustained varying degrees of burns.

The incident led to a massive gridlock, asvehicle plying the route pulled to a stop, for fear of being caught bythe inferno.

Eye witnesses who blamed the police for theaccident, said the buses were fully loaded.Lateef Ajala, who said he witnessed the incident, said: "See wetin police havecaused because of N50,'' adding that some 25 vehicles were involved in themultiple accident.

Ajala said the police had stopped some cars andbuses on the bridge when a speeding trailer hit one of the vehicles frombehind.

The fire created panic among motorists who hitother cars while trying to escape.

Stationary vehicle

Another eyewitness who gave his name as MuyiwaAdewale, a roadside mechanic, told Vanguard that the driver of the ill- fatedtrailer which was carrying sugar, disobeyed orders from policemen at the checkpoint, and rammed into a stationary vehicle waiting to be cleared by thepolice. He said the trailer exploded instantly.

The witness said that flames from the explodedtruck spread to other vehicles on the queue, and that it caught up with twofully-loaded Toyota Urvan commercial buses, leaving all its passengers burntcompletely.

Area H Police Commander, Mr. Godwin Nwobodo, anassistant commissioner of police, who was at the scene, however, told Vanguardthat "over 20 people were killed.'.

Firefighters from both the Federal Fire Service,Lagos State Fire Service and others from corporate organizations were at thescene to put off the inferno. Also at the scene were policemen from the LagosState Police Command, officials of Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, LagosState Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, etc.

The Lagos State Police spokesman, Frank Mba, whocould not confirm the exact numbers of lives lost and vehicles burnt,said policemen, officials of the FRSC and LASTMA were at the scene to clear thedebris to pave way for the free-flow of traffic.

Mba said: "The correct figure of total lives lostwould be ascertained after the debris have been removed."

He also dismissed as false, claims that a policecheck-point on the high way caused the crash, stressing: "I went to theaccident scene myself. I also interviewed people and they said they did not seeany policeman around the area.

They said they saw the driver screaming andthrowing out his hand saying, 'break don fail oh! Break don fail oh!!' And thatplace is a slope. We don't block the road in Lagos State. What we have is juststop-and-search, and at the time of the incident, there was none there."

However, Vanguard Editor, Mr. Mideno Bayagbon, whodrove past the scene shortly before the accident occurred, confirmed seeing thepolice road block. He said: "What immediately struck my attention was theunusual way the police used their van to vertically block two lanes of theexpressway leaving only one lane free.

"I had expressed my worry to my wife, who was inthe car with me, that what the police were doing was capable of causing a majoraccident."

Angered by the incident, street urchins, popularlycalled Area Boys, made bonfires on the Ibadan-Lagos section of the expresswayand the streets leading to Omole Estate and Sir Michael Otedola Housing Estate.The police, however, shot in the air to dispel the youths.
