Over speeding is very dangerous and could lead to death, that is why road users are always advised not to over speed while driving.
Well, just as the saying goes, it is better to hid a warning and stay safe.
Unfortunately, a driver who decided to shun this simple road safety rule has brought his life to a tragic end.
What’s worse is that an unspecified number of persons were also in the vehicle.
The tragic incident happened on the newly rehabilitated Third Mainland Bridge.
The vehicle plunged into the Lagos lagoon.
End Of Ramadan
You see, this incident shows that the government is not the only problem the country is facing.
Before now, people were complaining about the bad condition of the Third Mainland Bridge.
The complain got too much that the state government decided to act.
Now, after taking time to fix the road with the hope that accidents on that route will come to an end or reduce, sadly the case still remains the same.
The tragic incident happened on Wednesday, the day of the Eid-el-Fitri celebration, as Nigerian Muslims mark the end of Ramadan fasting.
Over Speeding
An eyewitness, identified as Akinola Adeniyi, spoke with journalists.
Adeniyi said the incident happened around 11.30 a.m. when the vehicle en-route Iyana-Oworo to the Island suddenly plunged into the Lagoon.
He attributed the cause of the accident to over-speeding by the driver of the ill-fated vehicle.
