Likewise great tragedy was slightly avoided at the Ikeja-Allen area of Lagos at about noonday, on February 8, when a fully loaded commercial bus lost its brakes and was forced to swerve off the designated road.
In the course of its unguarded swerve, the bus brushed a brand new Kia car, got onto the express demarcation (median) and continued on its troubled motion down the road until it came to its final place of rest.
