A serious bus accident that happened yesterday
on the popular 3rd Mainland bridge in Lagos
injured twelve people.
An 18-seater commercial bus with plate number
APP366XD had a tyre burst. In a bid to control
the vehicle, the driver applied the brakes
suddenly, thus causing the vehicle to somersault
severally.
According to eyewitnesses, the accident happened
around 1:50pm.
“We had to break the windscreen of the bus and
pull out the victims one after the other as part of
the bus was already on fire,” a traffic official said.
The victims were evacuated from the bus by
LASTMA officials and taken to Gbagada General
Hospital for treatment.
A witness said the entire bus caught fire some
minutes after the evacuation of the victims.
