The impact of an accident on Wednesday [today] in Lagos threw two adults off an 18-seater bus into the lagoon.
Mr. Ibrahim Farinloye, Lagos Territorial Coordinator, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), said this in a statement in Lagos.
He said that personnel of the Marine Police were in search of the two adults, a male and female, who fell off the LT 18-seater bus.
Farinloye said that the crash involving the bus with registration number FKJ 872 YA occurred by Adeniyi Adele axis inward Lagos Island, on the Third Mainland Bridge.
He said that the driver of the vehicle, who was on speed, swerved off the road and hit the bridge railings.
He said that the impact forcefully pushed the two passengers off the bus into the Lagos lagoon.
“The victims, an adult male and female are being searched by the Marine Police.
“The injured have been evacuated to a nearby hospital,” Farinloye said.
Meanwhile, Farinloye has said the hope of rescuing the two passengers who fell off the bus into the Lagos lagoon has become dim.
This is just as the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) said the remaining occupants of the bus were seriously injured. (NAN)
