Mr Dahah said he was driving alone in his vehicle with registration number GG 820-18 when the incident happened.

“I wanted to avoid a head-on collision and in my attempt, the vehicle skidded off the road, hit a tree and somersaulted,” he narrated.
Dahah, who was grateful to God for sparing his life, said his seat belt and the car’s strong airbag saved him.
