VAM News Update

A Toyota Hiace with number plate AFN117YL burst into flames while in motion on the long bridge of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Saturday morning.

Fourteen passengers escaped the fire unhurt.

The bus headed to Ilorin, Kwara State, reportedly caught fire while in motion.

Speaking with newsmen, the bus driver, Razak Ajiboro, said one of the tyres exploded while the bus was in motion.

“The front tyre at the driver’s side of the bus burst while it was in motion. The impact on the median was what caused the fire.

“It was just the grace of God that helped us; if not, the bus would have fallen off the bridge.

“God controlled the bus and not me, the driver. If not, we’d all be dead by now.

“There were 14 passengers in the bus, besides a few scratches, none of them sustained serious injuries, neither was there loss of any life,” the driver said.
