A commercial bus with Reg.GL 725 XG has crashed into an abandoned bridge in the Alagbole area of Ogun state. The bus was en-route Ojodu-Berger, Lagos State from Akute but developed brake problems minutes after taking off.
A commuter revealed what happened:
He said, “The driver thought the brake was in good condition after repairing it. The moment he took off from the bus stop, the vehicle raced uncontrollably downward the bridge. Except the woman that alighted, he and other passengers were injured. An elderly man broke his leg.
“They were trapped in the vehicle. Emergency workers had to cut through the iron seats to rescue them. One person died in one of the hospitals the victims were rushed to. A man bled from the eyes.”
A motorcycle rider, Bolu Aremu, said a pregnant woman sitting close to the exit jumped out and was saved before the crash.
