DRIVERS and passengers have survived what would have been described as fatal road accident.
The accident involving three vehicles occurred on Monday at Aroma Fly-over, Awka.
Though, one of the drivers sustained minor injury, Newsden reports that the accident was between a Sienna bus coming from Enugu with plate number ENUGU JRV-200XB a Nissan Titan with plate number LAGOS JJJ-89EH, and a Toyota Camry.
An eye witness, attributed the accident to over speeding by the driver of the Nissan Titan.
Speaking to newsmen the driver of the Sienna Bus whose vehicle was damaged from the back, Mr. Melvin Chibuike explained that his vehicle was hit because the driver of Nissan Titan was not observing instructions from officials of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
He further explained that FRSC officials were trying to control the traffic after his crash with the Toyota Camry before the NISAN Titan came to hit them.
Driver of the Nissan Titan who identified himself as Uche, happens to be a mechanic who was taking the vehicle to the owner stated that there was no traffic sign in sight, accusing the Road Safety officials of causing the confusion which led to the accident.
Attempts to speak with officials of FRSC were fruitless as those seen controlling traffic said they were not authorised to speak with journalists.
Newsden can confirm that no life was lost in the accident.
