It would have been a different and sad tale for some travelling passengers had their bus not stopped moments after reaching the edge of a bride along Okene-Okpella highway.

The bus almost veered off the bridge and nearly fell into the river along the bridge between Okene and Okpella in Edo state, as the driver was quick to stop the vehicle after initially loosing control.

Road users and motorists are calling on the state and federal government to build a guard rail on the open bridge which has recorded many accidents – to prevent this kind of incident.
