Five Sustain Injuries As Vehicle Somersaults On Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

A total of five persons sustained injuries in an accident that happened around the Redemption Camp area of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway when a vehicle allegedly belonging to ADRON Homes and Properties somersaulted due to a burst tyre.

An eyewitness identified simply as Quadri disclosed this in an interview on Wednesday.

According to Quadri, the tyre of the white Toyota Hummer bus burst on motion leading the vehicle to a somersault. He also noted that some sympathisers gathered to help the injured victims while pamphlets of the company scattered on the highway.

He said, “I was in a vehicle when the bus sped off beside us. As it was in motion, the tyre burst, leading the bus to somersault before finally stopping with its side on the ground.

“The pamphlets which I think belong to the ADRON Homes and Properties, scattered on the expressway while sympathisers gathered to assist the injured victims.”

When contacted, the spokesperson for the Ogun State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Florence Okpe, confirmed the incident but said no life was lost.

“I can confirm the accident. No lives were lost and we have driven the vehicle out,” she said.
