A ghastly auto accident occurred in Lagos on Wednesday morning when a commercial bus driver collided with a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) vehicle.
Gatekeepers News reports that the yet-to-be-identified bus driver died after his bus collided with the BRT vehicle on the Ifako Bridge inward Ogudu on the Apapa-Oworonshoki Expressway in Lagos.
The Deputy Director, Public Affairs, Lagos State Traffic Management Agency, Adebayo Taofik, confirmed the accident.
He said LASTMA officers were on the ground controlling the building traffic to clear the road for easy movement for commuters.
According to a media report, the PUNCH quoted a witness as saying that the fully loaded commercial bus was coming from Lagos Island and heading to the Ojodu Berger area of the state when the accident occurred.
“On hearing of the death of the commercial driver, whose body was lying beside the upturned commercial bus, hoodlums in the area quickly set the BRT bus ablaze.
“This resulted in a gridlock that stretched to the Car Wash bus stop area between Gbagada and Oworonshoki,”
