Breaking: 4 injured, commuters suffer as fire guts bus on Lagos bridge OkeAfa Isolo Lagos

Hundreds of commuters were stranded and, at least, four people injured on Tuesday as a commercial bus, maneuvering near a fallen fuel tanker, burnt beyond recognition, blocking the ever-busy Oke Afa-Isolo Bridge in Lagos.

The witness, who identified himself simply as a financial expert, was driving a 2005 Toyota and closely following the burnt bus. He said that as the bus was ascending the bridge, the exhaust pipe scratched the bridge pavement and ignited fire. He said that the driver of the bus and a female passenger were much affected by fire and had been referred to the Gbagada General Hospital.

He had a cut on the head which was being stitched when NAN arrived at the hospital. The nurse treating him did not allow NAN to talk further with him.
