One person was said to have burnt to death while 18 passengers
escaped death by whiskers, Wednesday morning , when an 18 passengers
Mazda bus fully loaded went up in flames on the Third Mainland Bridge in
Lagos.
The incident was said to have occurred at about 7.15am at the UNILAG
axis of the bridge when the 18-seater bus was journeying inward the
Lagos Island from Ikorodu.
Vanguard gathered that the bus with number plate MUS 781XB tumbled
twice and eventually went up in flames due to over speeding on the part
of the driver.
It was gathered that all the occupants of the bus were trapped but
were lucky to have escaped death before the vehicle went up in flames as
they were later rescued by sympathisers and law enforcement agents.
