After I saw the story of the trailer driver that bashed a car and tried to escape (its on the front page) I decided to also share my own story.
First of all, I have to advise you all to be very careful with these trailers or trucks especially on a lonely road.
This happened sometime in january.
My friend, Dr. Tee as we fondly call him was driving from abuja to lagos when exactly the same thing happened to him!
A trailer bashed his car (totoya hilux) and it ended up somersaulting several times.
He sustained some injuries and if not for God and good nigerians, he would have bled to death in d wreckage.
The thing is that the trailer guy didn't even stop or act as if it hit anything!
I thought it was maybe an isolated case till I read about another similar case on the front page.
I have to warn all nairalanders to be wary of those trailers when they are travelling on a major high way.
My own personal experience.
----------------------------------
In 2009, I was on my way to enugu using peace mass transit when a truck (trailer) we were trying to overtake suddenly swerved and ran us (and one other private car) into the bush .
This happened on lagos-ibadan expressway around 8am!
The trailer also didn't stop. Infact I was too dazed to notice it zoom off... Nobody died but the impact left some people unconcious.
This is my own 10 kobo.
