Tragedy occurred in the early hours of yesterday when a Toyota Hiace bus belonging to Ikoyi Golf CLUB plunged into Majidun River, along Mile 12- Ikorodu Road, Lagos.
According to a senior officer of Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, who confirmed the report and craved anonymity, the accident happened at about 6 a.m., which made immediate rescue operation impossible.
An eyewitness account said the vehicle was on high speed before the fatal plunge into the river, as the driver was apparently oblivious of the dangerous bend around the area, coupled withe road expansion project along the axis.
The bus was recovered around 10.05 a.m. by a combined team of LASTMA officials and local divers while the three occupants of the vehicle were yet to be recovered
