Bus Crashes Into Median In Lagos

Eight persons were yesterday injured after a ‘Molue’ commercial bus rammed into the road median at Ahmadiya on the Lagos-Abeokuta Road.

A statement signed by the spokesman of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, Adebayo Taofiq, explained that the accident occurred when the bus tried to avoid colliding with pedestrians standing at the bus stop, according to Channels TV.

He said, “A critical road traffic incident involving a commercial long bus, popularly referred to as a ‘Molue,’ occurred earlier today at Ahmadiyya inward Abule-Egba, causing severe injuries and significant disruption to traffic.

“The accident was triggered when the vehicle, registered as KTU 801 XM, lost control at excessive speed, reportedly due to driver impatience.

“In an attempt to avoid colliding with another LT commercial bus and pedestrians awaiting transport at the roadside, the driver veered sharply, resulting in the bus crashing into the expressway median and overturning.
