60 Escape Death As Luxury Bus, Petrol Tanker Crash In Awka by mediang: 3:58pm On Mar 11, 2017
About 60 persons escaped death when a fully loaded commercial luxury bus crashed into a drainage on the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway while trying to avoid collision with a petrol tanker, on Friday.

An eye witness, Mr. John Obi, said that the bus with plate number LAGOS KRD 730 XJ, belonging to Young Shall Grow motors, took off from Onitsha and was heading for Taraba State.

Obi said the passenger bus, which was descending the Kwata bridge just before the popular UNIZIK junction in Awka, on top speed was trying to avoid an unmarked petrol tanker.

He said that the tanker was turning on the Expressway after discharging its content at a nearby filling station.

He said though, no live was lost but some passengers sustained various degrees of injuries.

One of the victims, who identified himself as Chukwudi said he was thankful to God for the narrow escape but was not psychologically balanced to speak further.

“I just thank God, because this could have been my last day, for me I thank God,” he said.

Another passenger, Hajiya Rekia, a nursing mother was just shouting “Nagode Allah, Nagode Allah” (thank God).”
