An unspecified number of students and visitors of the stated-owned Olabisi Onabanjo University(OOU) Ago -Iwoye escaped death on Tuesday when a speeding Toyota Venza car skidded off the varsity’s inner road and rammed perilously into a tree.
The incident threw students going to and fro the school through the walkway into panic as they scampered to safety in different directions.
The massive impact triggered a huge fire, leading to an explosion that consumed the white-colored Venza.
Rescue efforts by other motorists who fought the raging flames failed, despite emptying two cans of fire extinguishers on the car.
