OOU Students Crushed To Death After Container Falls On Commercial Bus In Ogun

At least 10 students of Olabisi Onabanjo
University 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 today 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.
