Insurance journalist, Sola Alabadan, narrowly escaped death when a vehicle rammed into his car at top speed on his way to Ekiti.
Alabadan, formerly of the Nigerian Tribune and now the Insurance Editor of NewsPage Media was going to his home state of Ekiti from Lagos when the incident happened over the weekend.
According to him, a Toyota Sienna vehicle with Registration number GGE970GB, suddenly hit his car from the back and pushed him under the trailer in front of him.
The whole windscreen of his vehicle was shattered, while the bonnet and the bumper were damaged completely.
The veteran journalist said his life flashed before him and he thought it was the end. He later realized he was safe, apart from some fragments of glass that showered on him.
He said the driver of the car that crashed into him accepted it was his fault. He then collected his third-party insurance cover details and verified it on the website of the Nigerian Insurance Industry Database (NIID), which confirmed that the vehicle was indeed insured by a licensed insurance company.
