The scene of the accident
This tragic incident happened on 19th April 2015 at about 12pm.
According to reports gathered from the passengers, they were
traveling to Lagos from Asaba. It was a smooth trip until when they got
close to "Bypass" in Benin, the driver started waving the steering
randomly from left to right.
At first, they thought he was trying to navigate the potholes on
the road but it was pretty obvious that road at that point was good and
there was no need for that.
Suddenly the driver began to move to the right almost out of the
road, the man at the front noticed that the driver was sleeping, so he
quickly reached out his hand for the steering trying to wave back into
the road. He was not very successful because his seat belt held him back
but he managed to wave it a little.
The bus hit the bump by the right and fell over. lots of the passengers were injured but none died.
When the driver was confronted, he apologized and told them that he
worked the previous night. He drove from Lagos to Asaba and was forced
to take another trip without any good sleep.
