On the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, a truck reportedly crashed a passenger bus, killing at least one person.
InsightnaijaTV gathered that several passengers on the bus were hurt in the collision, which occurred at around 9:50 a.m. on Tuesday.
Our correspondent was told by a driver, Taiwo Oyewale, that the passenger bus was coming from Lagos and was heading towards Ibadan, while the truck was driving against traffic.
Oyewale said he didn’t know the exact number of persons who perished in the accident but said he saw bodies at the scene before the Federal Road Safety Corps took the injured victims to the hospital.
He said, ” I was not there when the accident happened but I arrived there a few minutes after. It is obvious that the truck driver drove against the traffic.
” The driver just came out of a quarry very close to the scene of the accident and collided with the blue bus. It’s a pity that lives were lost and property was destroyed due to one man’s recklessness.
“Those trucks loading from the quarry around that place are fond of driving against the traffic. They won’t go and turn at the appropriate turning point, but instead they will face the on coming vehicles and they usually speed.”
A motorist who claimed to have spotted a body at the scene of the accident also blamed the event on the truck driver’s alleged irresponsible driving.
He said, ” I think the bus driver did not see the truck on time because no driver would expect that somebody would drive against the traffic on the busy road.
“There was not traffic snarl that one can say made the truck driver to drive against the traffic. He was just reckless and he wasted precious lives just like that.”
The collision was confirmed by Uche Chukwura, Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps.
She said, ” The accident happened after Dominion University on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway today. Three male adults were involved but one person died and another one sustained injuries.”

Great post but I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this topic? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Thank you!
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% positive. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
