The tragic accident on the Jakande-Lekki-Epe highway has shocked the local community. A reckless driver behind the wheel of a Honda Accord violently collided with a Lexus parked on the shoulder, causing a fatal collision.
The sordid details of this incident are shocking. Instead of stopping and facing the consequences of his actions, the driver of the Honda Accord deliberately chose to flee the scene. This irresponsible action cost the life of Seun Sahola, the owner of the Lexus, who was fatally struck by the fleeing vehicle.
The brutality of this accident is difficult to understand. The driver of the Honda Accord not only caused the death of an innocent person, but also abandoned his damaged car on the road before fleeing the scene. His cowardly and disrespectful behavior towards human life is inexcusable.
Local authorities quickly responded to the shocking incident, transporting the victim’s body to the morgue for an autopsy and taking charge of the abandoned car for investigation. However, despite these measures taken, nothing will be able to bring Seun Sahola back to his family and loved ones.
This tragic accident should serve as a stark reminder of the importance of caution and respect on the roads. Every driver has the responsibility to respect traffic rules and demonstrate civility towards other road users. Ignoring these fundamental principles can have devastating consequences, as demonstrated by this preventable tragedy.
As a society, we must strongly condemn acts of road violence and promote a road safety culture based on respect and responsibility. Seun Sahola did not deserve to lose his life in this way, and we must collectively commit to preventing such accidents in the future.
