ASABA: The recklessness of drivers on our roads have again led to the loss of innocent lives.
At about 6:15pm on 29 November 2012, an 18 seater J5 bus was run into by a tipping lorry, cutting the bus in two and killing most of the occupants.
The tipper was coming from Igbusa while the bus was coming from Asaba when the accident happened.
An eye witness, Mr. Daniel, said the tipper was moving at a very high speed and it seems to be out of control. He added that the driver of the bus tried in vain to avoid a collision with the speeding tipper. The tipper, according to him, eventually rammed into the bus cutting it in two.
An ambulance of the Delta State Hospital Management Board later came and conveyed the dead and the injured to the Federal Medical Center. Among the dead is a student of University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN).
An angry mob which gathered after the accident almost lynched the tipper driver if not for the timely intervention of the Police.
