Bigiano Survives Car Accident

By Osagie Alonge

Nigerian singer Bigiano probably would still be on his knees right now. Why you ask? Well, the entertainment industry would have lost yet another talented act as the former Triple B singer was reportedly involved in an auto-mobile accident which almost claimed his life on Monday, May 30, 2011.

The Punch reports that Bigiano who was returning from Oyo state Governor Abiola Ajimobi's inauguration, was riding back to Lagos with an aide when a trailer swerved into their vehicle's lane just after the Shagamu junction.

In an attempt to avoid the on-coming trailer and avert a head-on collision, he made a sharp turn and bumped into a ditch. Before he regained control of the vehicle, Bigiano says he found his car under the trailer and seconds later, in a near-by bush.

Nobody was severely injured. The airbag helped cushion the impact, says Bigiano.

'It was a close shave honestly, the car is beyond repairs, but I thank God I am still alive', Bigiano told Shina Oyetayo of The Punch Newspaper.

Bigiano released his debut album 'Shayo Master' back in 2008.
