A commercial bus on Tuesday crushed a yet to be identified young woman to death, at about 9.00 am near a block industry at Charity area of Oshodi, Lagos.

According to eye witnesses, the victim was on her way to work and had crossed the expressway before she was hit from behind by a white coloured commercial bus coming from Mile 2.

The Nation reports:

The remains of the lady is still lying on the around on the asphalt road  at the time of filing in this report with visibly shaken sympathizers milling around it.

The incident, according to eyewitnesses, brings to fore the need for government to enforce the use of pedestrian bridges on the expressway.

According to them, the accident would have been averted if the lady had made use of the pedestrian bridge sited few metres away from where she was knocked down.
