Blood Flows as Female Driver Loses Control, Crushes 8 People To Death In Lagos

Tragedy struck on Ilaje Road, in the Bariga area of
Lagos State, after a female driver in a Land Cruiser
Sport Utility Vehicle crushed as much as eight
pedestrians to death.

Sadly, among the dead were
a pregnant woman, two
siblings, an old woman and a man returning from his
place of work. Many others sustained varying degrees
of injuries, including fractures and broken limbs in
the accident which happened around 9pm on
Saturday.


How did this mass killings happened?
According to Punch, the driver of the yet-to-be-
identified woman left the vehicle for her near Majok
Filling Station on Ilaje Road and had left for his
house.

The woman, said to be staying on Adebisi Street, had
barely taken the wheels to drive the SUV home when
the incident occurred. The vehicle reportedly surged
forward, crushing pedestrians and killing four of
them on the spot.

Is it that she doesn't really know how to drive or
what?

A set of nine injured people were reportedly taken
to the Gbagada General Hospital, among whom two
died; while another set of seven casualties were later
recovered. It was learnt that two more corpses were
found in the gutter on Sunday morning.

Angry youths were said to have gone to the scene,
dragged the woman out of the SUV and beaten her
up. She was about to be lynched when some
policemen from the Bariga Police Division
intervened.

The woman was to celebrate her birthday on Sunday
and was going home to make preparations for the
event before this very unfortunate accident.

A police source said the female driver was
recuperating in a private hospital in the area.
He said, “The woman is wealthy, and she was to
celebrate her birthday on Sunday. 

The mob stripped
her to the underwear and beat her up. She is
recuperating in a hospital; her husband has showed
up at the police station... The police will invite the
woman after her treatment.”
