Passengers Escape Death as Bus Catches Fire

There was pandemonium at the Ox Bow Lake Road junction, Yenagoa in Bayelsa State, after a bus went up in flames in a traffic jam. People at the scene of the incident observed that the thick ball of flame that emanated from the Mitsubishi L300 bus forced motorists to flee the area.

The scene immediately attracted onlookers and sympathisers, who initially mistook the vehicle for a passenger bus. But two persons, a driver and a passenger, struggled out of the bus unhurt.
