Officials of Federal Road Safety Corps have cleared the wreckage of the
tanker that exploded in an accident that occurred on Tuesday at the
Kara-Ibafo, KM21 of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. A tanker said to belong
to Total Oil Nigeria Plc was heading to Oyo state when it collided with
a large sized stone on the expressway and skidded off its track.
Five vehicles including the fuel tanker were caught up in the explosion
which followed when a driver of a commercial bus wanted to negotiate its
way through the ensuing gridlock. The silencer of the bus was said to
have sparked a fire and it spread to the spilled fuel, causing an
explosion. Scores of motorists and commuters fortunately escaped death
but others including those scooping fuel that spilled were injured from
the blast.
