A motor accident occurred on the Long bridge section of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway involving a white 18-seater Mazda bus carrying passengers from Maryland, Lagos State.
VerseNews gathered that the accident resulted from a loosened propeller, causing the vehicle to somersault.
Fortunately, no casualties were recorded, but passengers sustained bruises. One survivor expressed gratitude to God and the driver for their safety.
The mother of a six-month-old baby added, “If not for God and the driver, I would have been a dead person by now. We thank God and the driver for saving out.”
Another passenger named Abubakar lamented that the driver refused to refund money collected for the journey, stranding them on the road.
He said, “I am the saddest person on this bus, the money with me can’t take me to Kebbi anymore. The driver collected N2,600 from us before leaving the park and he was not ready to refund us or call for backup in the park to come and carry his stranded passengers.”
Security personnel, including the police and members of the Federal Road Safety Corps, were coordinating traffic at the accident scene.
