Nollywood actor and content creator, Odira Nwobu, widely known for his comic skits under the alias Joseph The Dreamer, has reportedly survived a ghastly motor accident along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The tragic incident, which occurred on Wednesday, left several people injured and, sadly, others dead, according to eyewitness reports.

A now-viral video from the accident scene showed Odira lying on the roadside, drenched in blood as passersby tried to rescue him from the wreckage.

The disturbing clip, believed to have been filmed moments after the crash, captured the actor moaning in pain, clearly disoriented, as people desperately called for medical help. Some bystanders were seen praying, while others made efforts to get him and others to the hospital.

Sources said that Nollywood star and a few survivors were rushed to a nearby hospital, though the identities and conditions of other victims remain unconfirmed as of press time.

The exact cause of the accident has yet to be officially confirmed by authorities, but social media users speculate that reckless driving and excessive speeding may have contributed to the incident.
