Bus Accident On Lagos Third Mainland Bridge Injures 12

A serious bus accident that happened yesterday on
the popular 3rd Mainland bridge in Lagos injured
twelve people.
An 18-seater commercial bus with plate number
APP366XD had a tyre burst. In a bid to control the
vehicle, the driver applied the brakes suddenly, thus
causing the vehicle to somersault severally.
According to eyewitnesses, the accident happened
around 1:50pm.
"We had to break the windscreen of the bus and pull
out the victims one after the other as part of the bus
was already on fire," a traffic official said.
The victims were evacuated from the bus by LASTMA
officials and taken to Gbagada General Hospital for
treatment.
A witness said the entire bus caught fire some
minutes after the evacuation of the victims.
