| Scene of the Accident |
What
a tragedy! In Nigeria, you don't have to be in a car to get killed by
car accident neither do you have to be in a plane to get killed by air
accident. Even our homes are no longer immune to transport accidents how
much more our roads.
According to PUNCH, Three people
lost their lives while two others were injured on Lagos-Abeokuta
Expressway in Lagos on Thursday after a driver, Oladimeji Olaniyi, lost
control of his car, which rammed into the victims.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the incident occurred around Aluminium Village, inward Iyana-Ipaja, along the expressway.
An eyewitness alleged the driver of
the vehicle, a red Peugeot 406 car with registration number, BM214EKY,
was drunk and was on high speed when the accident occurred.
The driver reportedly hit and killed three people on the spot while two bystanders at a bus stop sustained injuries.
According to eyewitnesses, the
driver suddenly lost control of the wheels and the car rammed into the
victims who were on their way from the nearby timber market where they
had gone to buy plywood.
Our correspondent also learnt that the vehicle plunged into a gutter after it had crushed the victims.
It was gathered that the driver of
the vehicle was almost lynched by a mob but for the timely intervention
of policemen attached to the Dopemu division.
He was immediately arrested and detained at the station.
