  "account": "An accident involving a Mazda bus resulted in the injury of 13 people on Friday along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State. The incident occurred around 12:30 pm in Remo North Local Government Area, where the bus lost control due to a burst tyre, causing it to overturn and collide with a concrete barrier. The Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency disclosed this in an accident report, noting that no ambulance or emergency personnel arrived at the scene for about 20 minutes. Nollywood actor Kunle Afod raised concerns over the slow response of emergency agencies, sharing a video of the accident scene on Instagram. Despite the delay in medical assistance, rescue teams from the TRACE and FRSC agencies quickly responded to the scene. The Mazda bus, with 18 occupants, had a burst tyre that made the driver lose control, resulting in the vehicle overturning before hitting the concrete barrier. All injured victims were taken to various hospitals for medical attention, with four eventually discharged. The bus was towed to the Papa Oscar holding facility for investigation, and the accident did not disrupt traffic flow on the expressway.",
