MOB BURNS BRT BUS OVER DEATH OF COMMERCIAL BUS DRIVER
On Wednesday, a commercial bus driver who has not been identified died in a car accident on Lagos’ Ikafo Bridge when his vehicle collided with a BRT.
When tragedy struck, the driver of the 14-seat Volkswagen Transporter minibus was driving toward the Lagos mainland.
The commercial bus was forced to flip over as a result of the impact of the collision with the BRT.
The driver, according to witnesses, passed away before help could reach him.
According to reports, hoodlums set the BRT bus on fire, which resulted in a major traffic bottleneck.
Agboola Ololade, the deputy director of public affairs for the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, stated: “The accident was reported on Wednesday at 9:33 a.m. The crew from Alausa Firefighters arrived quickly.
“Operational firefighting commenced in earnest after which a male adult was recovered and handed over to the Police from Ogudu Division.
“The casualty who was the driver of the commercial bus was riding alone while the BRT and his assistant escaped with a minor injury. The remains of the vehicles are being cleared off the expressway just as men of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority are managing the traffic in the meantime.”
