ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON OTEDOLA BRIDGE, TWO BUSES CRASH INTO EACH OTHER IN LAGOS, MANY INJURED

Otedola Bridge has witnessed a fresh accident as two buses crash on the bridge some hours ago.

According to an eyewitness, a commercial bus, popularly called danfo, illegally took the one way route, on the other side of the road from the explosion accident, and crashed into a white Toyota Hiace bus with Lagos number plate AAA-926XU.

Many passengers were injured with one person struggling for breath before he was rushed to a hospital by officials of Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) who were already on the scene because of the previous day’s accident.
Reports from the scene of the accident indicated that the driver of the danfo bus was speeding because he was running from officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) after he violated a traffic law.

According to the driver of the white bus, who identified himself as Ayinde, his bus was travelling interstate from Ondo State before the accident. He reported that the LASTMA officials that were chasing after the driver ran away immediately after the crash happened.

When police officers got to the scene, the driver of the danfo bus was arrested with 200mg of tramadol found inside his bus.
