Tragedy on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway: Man Loses Arm in Horrific Accident While Rushing to See Wife and Newborn.

A heart-wrenching incident unfolded on Saturday along the ever-busy Lagos-Ibadan expressway, as an unidentified man tragically lost his right arm in a ghastly motor accident.

According to eyewitnesses, the man was reportedly on his way to visit his wife, who had given birth to their child earlier that morning, when the unfortunate incident occurred. Sources close to the scene revealed that the man, visibly excited about meeting his newborn for the first time, was driving at a high speed when his vehicle suddenly lost control after a failed attempt to avoid a reckless commercial bus.

The collision involved multiple vehicles, with the man’s car bearing the brunt of the impact. Passersby and motorists quickly gathered, some offering assistance while others alerted emergency services. It took the combined efforts of good Samaritans and rescue officials to free the victim from the wreckage. Unfortunately, his right arm had been severed in the crash.

He was rushed to a nearby hospital, bleeding profusely, while medical personnel worked tirelessly to stabilize his condition.

Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with scattered debris, blaring car horns, and bystanders expressing shock and sadness over the man’s plight. Many couldn’t help but empathize with the victim, knowing that a moment that was supposed to be filled with joy — meeting his newborn for the first time — had turned into a nightmare.

As of the time of this report, the man’s identity remains unknown, and authorities are working to contact his family. His wife, still recovering from childbirth, is reportedly unaware of the tragic event.

Officials have once again urged motorists to exercise caution while driving, emphasizing the importance of adhering to speed limits and road safety regulations to prevent further loss of life and limbs.
