A
bride narrowly escaped death in an auto crash while on her way from her
wedding. The accident involving a NNPC tanker with number plate XG 321
MKA, a cargo truck and two saloon cars happened at about 4: 45pm on
Saturday, close to the Otedola bridge, Alausa, on Lagos/Ibadan
Expressway.
Our reporter who witnessed the accident
said the NNPC truck, while descending the slop from Alausa at top speed,
could not hold its break. It then ran into the first car and squashed
the second one against the cargo truck.
The bride and her husband were said to have jumped out of their car.
When our reporter got to the scene of
the accident, the groom was no where in sight. The groom’s elder sister
who spoke to our repoter while cuddling her baby explained that they
were just coming from the wedding reception of the couple.
