A couple narrowly escaped death in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, after a container fell on their car while it was being transported by an articulated vehicle.
The incident took place on Thursday afternoon, according to DAILY POST.
The container plummeted from the articulated vehicle, which was registered under Nasarawa JZ 101 ZA, with the number plate indicating it was in the Ogbomoso High School area of Lagos.
It was gathered that the incident occurred a few minutes after the couple parked the car to buy some items.
The trailer was approaching from Oyo and attempted to avoid a head-on collision with a bus moving in the opposite direction. The bus driver, engrossed in using his mobile phone, lost focus and the two vehicles narrowly missed each other.
An eyewitness described the incident as a narrow escape.
“It was a narrow escape. The couple just parked their car and got down to buy some items at the side of the metal scrap yard. That is when the trailer had its large container fall on the car. Thank God no other person was in the car”.
