Lagos tanker explosion: But foolishness killed those that died on that bridge – eye witness

Following the fatal accident that occurred on the Otedola Bride, an eyewitness who was present at the scene has attributed the death of victims of the incident to foolishness.

According to the eyewitness who claimed he lost his phone in the incident, it wasn’t that tanker driver’s fault, as a commercial bus dropped off passenger where there was no bus stop and got into a fast lane without looking at his side mirror.

His tweets on the Lagos tanker explosion reads;

lost my phone to that berger tanker accident yesterday. First it wasn’t that tanker drivers fault, a commercial bus dropped off passenger where there was no bustop and entered d fast land back without looking at his side mirror Tread

The tanker guy tried avoiding an accident but look at what happened at the end, he stepped on his brakes, hit the partition and tripped over, now here is d part that got me like we are really mad in d country, ignorance kill all the people that died

that tanker didn’t explode immediately, people had 1min to save themselves, every minute counts in a n accident, people were trying to save their cars instead of their lives, there was a camry infront of the tanker, man was actually trying to reverse his car, he was so foolish

Save yourself and savage the car later, fire and electricity are like the same, from one path to the other, now assumption kill us for this country, people were in their car making videos instead of running away, fire started, panic sets in, I watched as people got burnt

It became a struggle contest, who’s gonna come out first, fire rounded them up, what they should have done first, dey did it last and paused with their lives, may their soul rest in peace.. But foolishness killed those that died on that bridge… God forgive all their sins. Alot of spelling errors…. I was typing with anger…

Lagos inferno : survivors told their story

Otedola bridge

 

One Adewale Adesanya, a survivor of the Otedola Bridge fire which occurred on Thursday, June 28, has disclosed how he escaped from the terrible inferno.

In an interview with Vanguard, the lucky survivor said he never envisaged that the fuel tanker which caused the fire would experience any brake failure.

NAIJ.com gathers that he stated that the tanker fell and began spilling its contents, after the brake failure occurred.

According to Adesanya, immediately he noticed the highly combustible liquid spilling on the road and approaching his vehicle, he ran out and crossed over to the other side.

He said: “Due to the state of the road, I saw the content spilling towards my vehicle with fire accompanying it. So I quickly ran out of the vehicle and crossed to the other side to avoid been caught in the inferno.”

Another commuter, one Michael Simon, whose car was among the vehicles which got burnt in the inferno, stated: “I am happy I didn’t die while trying to escape from the scene. I tried maneuvering my vehicle to avoid been burnt, but my efforts proved abortive.”

A female eyewitness, one Maria Oje, while in tears, described her escape as the handwork of God.

She stated that she saw how some motorists tried to escape, but did not make it.

In her words: “One of them, who was on fire, fell down, as he could not run any longer. Nobody could rescue them as everyone was also running for dear life.”

Recall that NAIJ.com previously reported that no fewer than nine persons were burnt beyond recognition with 54 vehicles torched in a fuel tanker explosion at Otedola Bridge, near the old toll gate, Alausa, Lagos.

The spokesman, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Kehinde Adebayo, confirmed the incident, stressing that four persons sustained various degrees of injury.
