Mother And Infant In Lagos Car Crash: Witnesses Describe Harrowing Scene

A car accident involving a woman, her toddler, and a motorcyclist, commonly known as an Okada rider, reportedly occurred on the Festac Link Bridge in the Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos State late on Saturday night.

Eyewitness Joshua Davids recounted the incident, stating, “What happened at Amuwo Link Bridge, tonight’s accident, is that the car driver hit a woman with a baby on her back. They have been rushed to the hospital.”

Davids noted that the driver escaped with minor injuries due to the car’s airbag deployment, ensuring his safety. However, he emphasized that the woman, her baby, and the Okada rider were unconscious and also taken to the hospital for treatment.

Describing his own close call, Davids shared, “I was walking down from the back, from the backside. I was also coming from Festac, so I saw everything that happened. He also almost hit me.” Displaying an injury sustained during the incident in a video, he expressed gratitude for his safety, saying, “I had to save myself. I thank God for my life.”

Another witness, who preferred anonymity, recounted hearing a loud sound while heading home, indicating the severity of the accident.
