Members of the Deeper Life Bible Church narrowly escaped death in a road accident on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Their bus, returning from a Christmas Retreat Camp, collided with a stationary truck near Otedola Bridge, inward 7UP, Ikeja, Lagos.
The accident, which occurred in the early hours of the morning, left ten passengers injured—three men and seven women. Thankfully, the remaining passengers were unharmed.
Responding to an emergency call, the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) activated its State Emergency Response Plans (SERP) and deployed its Tiger Response Team from Alausa, Ikeja.
Upon arriving at the scene around 6:50 a.m., the team found a branded bus with registration number MUS-176XC that had rammed into a stationary 40-foot container truck. An investigation revealed that the bus driver lost control due to brake failure, leading to the collision.
Dr. Olufemi Damilola Oke-Osanyintolu, the Permanent Secretary of LASEMA, confirmed that all injured passengers received immediate medical attention from the agency’s Pre-Hospital Care Team. The injured were transported to a nearby trauma center using LASEMA ambulances and others present at the scene.
Additionally, LASEMA’s team implemented safety measures during the recovery operation and removed the damaged bus from the road to a nearby lay-by to prevent further accidents.
