No fewer than 30 people escaped death when a luxury bus belonging to a popular transportation company carrying passengers from Enugu to Lagos, caught fire at Igbariam axis on the Enugu-Onitsha expressway.
It was gathered that one of the tyres of the luxury bus got heated up and burst and that ignited the fire that spread to other parts of the bus. That attracted the attention of the driver who pulled up to check and saw the fire raging.
No life was lost, but the passengers were immediately evacuated from the bus successfully without any injury.
A passenger Miss Uche John who narrated the situation said that God helped the passengers to escape without any physical injury but noted that most people’s blood pressure went high.
