One Passenger Burnt To Death As Commercial Bus Bursts Into Flames On Third Mainland Bridge (Photo)

One person reportedly got burnt to death while 18 other passengers escaped death by whiskers earlier this morning when a Mazda bus fully loaded went up in flames on the popular Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos.

Sources gathered that the bus with number plate MUS 781XB tumbled twice and eventually went up in flames due to over speeding on the part of the driver. 

All occupants of the bus were reportedly trapped but were lucky to have escaped death before the vehicle went up in flames as they were later rescued by sympathisers and law enforcement agents.
