This horrible accident happened yesterday
Monday Sept. 23rd along the Alaka/Costain
crossover bridge in Surulere. The driver of one
of the buses in the state mass transit scheme
lost control of his bus and crashed into a
soldier riding a motorcyle on the express. The
yet-to-be identified soldier was cut almost into
two by the bus. (Too graphic...but will show
you just one pic).
According to a source who witnessed the
accident, the driver was on top speed when he
lost control of the vehicle as he approached a
bad spot on the dilapidated bridge. The driver,
while trying to avoid the bad spot, swerved to
the left pinning the soldier on the railing of the
bridge. The bus dragged the soldier for a bit
and cut through his bowel.
Eyewitnesses said the soldier, who died on the
spot, was carrying a woman on the back seat
of the motorcycle, and was flung away from
the impact of the collision. She survived the
crash but is in a critical condition in the
hospital. The driver of the bus fled the scene
after seeing the extent of the damage and so
did the passengers of the bus a few minutes
later, fearing attack from soldiers.
See a pic after the cut. *Very graphic so be
warned*
