Lady tears up as she glorifies God after narrowly escaping ghastly accident (Video)

A lady is overwhelmed with mixed emotions of disbelief, joy and panic after she narrowly escaped a ghastly accident that nearly claimed her life.

The lady who almost became a victim of traffic accident revealed that the incident had occured in the early hours of Friday morning on a bridge in Lagos. She said that she was in the front seat with the driver when, suddenly, the driver began shouting for the brake. A big bus rammed into the back of the car which completely mangled that section of the car, and she should have been another statistic in the death toll of motor accidents if she had been sitting at the back. She wrote: “This happened to me on Friday morning on bridge in Lagos on my way going to the market at about 8:am. I was sitting in front sit with the driver. Then suddey I heard the driver shouting. Brake o brake o. Then this happened. All I can say is God I am great full. God be praised.” Watch the video below:
