 No fewer than 14 people were injured in a fatal accident which occurred on Thursday when two vehicles collided on the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos State.
According to eye witnesses, two white buses, marked KTU 386 LA and SMK 747 SH, had shattered windscreens, and the blood of some of the injured passengers was sprinkled on the road.
One of the victims, an elderly woman, was seen lying unconscious on the median of the expressway where she was laid by sympathisers.

  Her forehead was bruised and she was motionless as a crowd milled around her.
According to Punch, the incident happened around 2pm when the driver of one of the vehicles had a burst tyre and in a bid to control the bus, collided into the other which was filled with passengers.
A passenger, who had a cut on his head and was bleeding from the hand, said:“The driver of the bus carrying goods suddenly lost control and swerved, before hitting our vehicle.”
The accident caused a gridlock traffic jam on the bridge while some officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority were seen trying to manage the situation.
A LASTMA official, who pleaded anonymity, said the victims had been taken to the Lagos Island General Hospital around 4pm when our correspondent called for an update.
He said, “We discovered that the bus conveying goods lost one of its tyres and later rammed into the other bus.
“There were 14 passengers in the commercial bus and we had to rush them to the general hospital on the Island.”
The LASTMA spokesperson, Bola Ajao, promised to call back for more details.
