No fewer than 10 students of
Olabisi Onabanjo University Ago Iwoye, Ogun state lost their lives after a
container on a truck fell on the commuter bus they were traveling in, crushing
all the passengers and the bus driver to death. This happened along the
Sagamu/Benin expressway at Ilishan, very close to Sagamu junction at about
12noon on Friday June 26th. The students were on their way to Lagos when the
accident happened.
An eyewitness said the driver
of the truck drove against traffic which caused the head on collision with the
commuter bus
"I was coming from Sagamu
side and saw the accident. I had to hurriedly park my car, run to the scene to
see if the passengers could be rescued but unfortunately all the occupants were
dead including the driver. The bus was facing Lagos, but I dont know where it
was coming from. The driver of the truck carrying an empty container was coming
from Sagamu axis but was driving against traffic and that resulted in the
collision, which eventually claimed the lives of the innocent people" the
eye witness said.
The remains of the victims have
been deposited at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, OOUTH,
Sagamu
