The team bus of Nigerian Premier League side
Ikorodu United was involved in an accident with
a trailer on Friday, en route Makurdi for a
weekend fixture against Lobi Stars. The accident
happened along AMA Brewery Road 9th mile in
Enugu.
A team official and seven players were treated in
hospital for minor injuries, with 11 players and
six officials of the Lagos-based side escaping
unhurt after jumping out of the bus windows.
A trailer was speeding in the direction of the
Ikorodu bus, but the driver quickly swerved
before the trailer crashed into another
passenger bus, leaving it completely flattened, a
team official said.
“It was a scary moment but we all managed to
get out of the bus through the windows,” team
media officer Babatunde Ayoola told BBC Sport.
“We are lucky to be alive because the crash
impact killed all the passengers inside an 18-
seater bus on the spot.
