Adebayo Folorunsho-FrancisA street sweeper with the Lagos Waste Management Authority narrowly escaped death on Thursday after being crushed to a stationary petrol tanker by a motorist conveying a woman said to be the wife of a soldier. The woman then brought out her phone and begged one of the attendants at the filling station to help call her husband. While one of the cars ferried the wife of the major away from the scene, the other headed for the hospital. I cannot really say whether the driver was drunk or he simply lost control of the car. At first, I was so angry when they told me that the woman did not follow us to the hospital.
