Couple Pays For 9 Coffins, As Keke Driver Who Caused Accident, Flees Scene


A couple who escaped death on Monday after ramming into two coffin shops has paid hundreds of thousands of naira for damages.

According to reports, the man and his wife were driving along the T.O.S Benson Road, around the Ikorodu General Hospital, in the Ikorodu Local Government Area of Lagos State, when a tricycle operator (Keke driver) suddenly rode in his direction — causing a ghastly accident.

 Reports had it that the man who was driving a blue Kia car swerved, while trying to avoid collision with the tricycle and veered off the road as a result, ramming his car into two coffin shops. 
 An eyewitness, who gave her name only as Ife, told Punch that no one died but that the impact of the crash damaged the couple’s car and no fewer than nine coffins. 
 “A tricycle operator saw passengers waiting for vehicles to convey them to Ebute and he rode in the direction of the motor park. Suddenly, he made a U-turn without properly looking at the road and wanted to collide with a KIA car heading towards the park,” Ife said.  
She said the shock of the incident made the driver of the KIA lose control of the vehicle and ram into two coffin shops and that the driver’s wife was dressed for office and it appeared that the man wanted to drop her at work, as it was just 7am in the morning. 

 “The tricycle operator fled after realising what he had caused. Nobody sustained injuries, but the accident damaged the coffins and some parts of the shops belonging to Abayo and Korede,” she added.
A second eyewitness, who identified as Jide, said although they were not injured, the shock of the accident made the driver remain in his car for half an hour. 

 “The driver paid N550,000 to the owners of the damaged coffins. The coffins are very costly; some of them cost N150,000, N200,000 and N80,000. About nine coffins were destroyed. 

“When I got there, I saw that the husband and wife sustained no injury, but the shock of the accident affected the driver, as he spent up to 30 minutes in the car before getting down.
