Fatal Accident Today In Abuja. (viewers Discretion Advised On Pics)) by cardoctor(m): 9:46pm On Feb 19, 2015 |
This accident occurred this afternoon around 3.00pm on the Murtala Mohammed expressway popularly known as the Kubwa express way. Main cause; over speed and reckless overtaking. The Toyota Camry in the picture while on top speed recklessly overtook another vehicle from the right lane not knowing that a slow moving lorry heavily laden with sacks of onion was right in its path leaving the car without enough time or space to avoid ramming into the rear of the lorry. On this occasion also, the two occupants of the front seats died on the spot. The seat belts couldn't do much to help as the entire front half of the car was completely mangled underneath the rear end of the lorry. I had just helped to remove the man laying the ground who was the front seat passenger before taking this pics. He was already dead too. The only survivor, a middle aged woman seating in the rear was extracted and quickly rushed to the hospital. I have no further information on her condition after she was freighted away in the back seat of another car. Funny enough, this accident happened at almost the same spot, in similar circumstances and barely 3 months after another accident involving a Toyota Rav4 and an AMAC transport bus caused a heavy gridlock with possible fatalities. I think that a serious failure in driver training and licensing as well as speed monitoring by law enforcement agent such as the Police and Road Safety corps is the major cause of the level of carnage and deaths that we experience on these scary Nigerian roads. Something urgently need to be done. Same as well on this occasion, NO AMBULANCE, NO FIRE BRIGADE. Just ordinary citizens doing our best to offer help in an almost helpless situation. God help us.

RIP to the dead. A lot of Nigerians are bad drivers and bad road users. Overtaking from the right is wrong and should you attempt it,make sure you have a clear view of your front view and also ensure there's ample space for you to drive before the vehicle you're overtaking,pulls over in front of you. The safest and right way to overtake is from your left. Many people know this,but still end up breaking this rule and at the end,they waste their lives and the lives of others. Last month,I was on Lagos-Abeokuta express and my colleagues were of the opinion that I should reverse on the express so we can quickly connect the opposite lane and avoid traffic. I vehemently refused,but opted to through the normal route to connect the opposite lane. I tried to explain to them that reversing on the express was wrong and the vehicles coming behind me wouldn't expect a car to be reversing on that lane. At the end,I might end up causing accident for innocent people. If they die as a result of that,would I forgive myself knowing fully well that I was wrong? These are the little details Nigerians don't pay attention to and at the end of the day,they end up paying a greater price for it. People should learn to do the right thing often,and also put other road users into consideration when driving. 89 Likes 5 Shares |
