Today, a middle-aged, young lady with the name B.K who was also a 300L student in the state owned tertiary institution lost her life to a head-on collision of the motorcycle she boarded with a car driven by a young Driver. By the time she was brought into our Accident and Emergency Department, it was already too late and she was declared dead on arrival (DOA) and Motorcycle Rider is currently receiving Treatment. Eyewitnesses said that the accident was caused by the car driver who while on speed tried to dodged a pothole on his lane and the Vehicle crossed to the other lane where the impact between the car and the motorcycle occurred. The Driver has been detained by the police for the due course of law to take place.

my personal opinion is that
1. when driving on the road especially within a community observe and maintain the recommended speed limit. You are not the only one using the road.

2. Am also of the opinion that investigations should be made to catch all these driving schools that collect bribe and offer driving school certificate most of the young drivers on our roads today and those found wanting should be made to face the full wrath of the Law.
3. Lack of well trained Paramedical and Emergency Response personnel is a huge contributory factor to the high percentage of Deaths due to RTA. This needs Fixing.

Most importantly always say a word of Prayer before stepping out of the house.

Some Causes of RTA amongst others are;
1. Reckless Driving
2. Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or Hard Drugs ( e fit happen one day).
3. Vehicle Negligence.

May the deceased RIP and I pray God give the family the fortitude to bear the Lose.

Menace u mean?
