UK Returnee Dies While Driving Himself Home From Lagos Airport Yesterday

Tragedy yesterday struck in Lagos as an early morning auto crash claimed the life a United Kingdom returnee and left others severely injured. Sunday Telegraph learnt that the deceased, who had just returned on Saturday morning, chose to drive himself when he met his untimely death on the popular Otedola Bridge on the Lagos Ibadan Expressway.

It was gathered the accident, which occurred at about 7:15am, involved a blue coloured Hilux truck with registration number FST 356 XS and a truck with registration FKJ 519 CF.

It was learnt that the victim’s brother drove to the airport to pick him up, but while coming back, he chose to drive while the brother survived with injuries in the accident, which occurred on the out bound side of the expressway.

It was also learnt that the cause of the accident was due to over speeding on the part of the Hilux driver, who lost control of the vehicle and rammed into the truck.

The General Manager, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Mr Michael Akindele, who confirmed the accident, however, said that the quick and swift intervention of agency’s Emergency Response Team led to the rescue of a male adult and the evacuation of unidentified person.

why should he choose to drive right from the airport?? flying is not easy and frm a long distance @ that. secondly, there is a speed limit in how u drive in UK, why he come dey speed for naija wey get bad roads every whre?? thirdly, Uk drives from the left hand side while naija drives from right; he should have waited for some days at least to get to know about our roads once more- maybe he mistook right driving for left at one point. Lastly, how bottles of wine or cans of beer must he av taken while on board?? no be everytin b devil or frm village pple biko nu! #LookClosely
