A 2-year-old boy is in critical condition following an accident that happened as a result of his mother's carelessness.
Mrs Olaore Yetunde, the mother of the injured boy, put her son in harm's way when she left him alone in her parked car and dashed into her apartment on Adetoro Adelaja street, Magodo, Lagos on May 24, 2018. In her haste, Mrs Yetunde forgot to properly bring her Hyundai 4-wheel-drive SUV to a halt with the handbrake after she parked in her compound.
As soon as she left the scene, the car began moving on its own, sliding out of the compound through the open gate and onto the street. It then slid off the main road and plunged into a 20-feet gully, where it somersaulted several times.
