Passengers narrowly escaped death on Tuesday when a moving Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) bus caught fire on the Mile-12 Bridge along Ikorodu Road, Lagos.
Eyewitnesses reported that the high-capacity bus burst into flames mid-morning while in transit.
Passengers quickly evacuated the vehicle and moved to safety following the outbreak of the fire.
The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, working alongside other emergency responders, promptly extinguished the blaze. The burnt bus was later removed from the bridge to prevent disruption to traffic flow.
The immediate and underlying causes of the fire were not known at press time. Fortunately, there were no casualties reported from the incident.
