Adejoye Deborah, a student of Tai Solarin University of Education in Epe, Lagos State, has recounted how she survived a devastating road accident in 2019 that left her severely injured and unconscious.

In an interview with PUNCH, on Saturday May 2, 2026, Deborah stated that she was riding on a commercial motorcycle when the rider attempted to overtake a trailer at high speed, leading to a serious crash. She said the impact threw her off the motorcycle, and a gas cylinder she was carrying fell on her leg, causing severe injury.

She added that she lost consciousness immediately and could not recall the exact moment of the accident.

Deborah stated, “I was on a commercial motorcycle that day. The rider was speeding and attempted to overtake a trailer. Everything happened so fast that I cannot clearly remember the exact moment of the crash. I was later told that I was thrown off the bike, and the heavy gas cylinder I was carrying landed directly on my leg and crushed it badly.”
