A bride
narrowly escaped death in an auto crash while on her way from her wedding. The
accident involving a NNPC tanker with number plate XG 321 MKA, a cargo
truck and two saloon cars happened at about 4: 45pm on Saturday, close to the
Otedola bridge, Alausa, on Lagos/Ibadan Expressway.
Our
reporter who witnessed the accident said the NNPC truck, while descending the
slop from Alausa at top speed, could not hold its break. It then ran into the
first car and squashed the second one against the cargo truck.
The bride
and her husband were said to have jumped out of their car.
When our
reporter got to the scene of the accident, the groom was no where in sight. The
groom’s elder sister who spoke to our repoter while cuddling her baby explained
that they were just coming from the wedding reception of the couple.
She was
seen kneeling down and thanking God for their escape but refused to give the
name of the couple.
Sympathisers put out the fire coming out of the truck as the
tanker was carrying petroleum product. The accident also resulted in gridlock
which was controlled by men of the Federal Road Safety Corps.
