Darey Art Alade, wife cheat death as car catches fire on Third Mainland Bridge

Nigerian singer Darey Art Alade and his wife, Deola, have expressed gratitude after escaping unharmed from a vehicle fire that occurred on Lagos’ Third Mainland Bridge.

The incident took place around 4 p.m. on Friday, according to Deola, who shared details and videos from the scene on her Instagram page on Saturday.

“Yesterday, around 4pm, our car caught fire on the 3rd Mainland Bridge and burnt to the ground,” she wrote, “It was a shocking and painful experience, but we’re incredibly grateful that the driver made it out safely. No lives were lost, and that’s what truly matters.”

Deola used the opportunity to reflect on the fragility of life, emphasizing that safety and survival are far more important than any material possession.

“Moments like this remind us how quickly things can change and how unimportant material things become in the face of life itself,” she added.

She explained that her intention in sharing their experience was not to attract sympathy, but to uplift those dealing with unexpected loss.

“We’re not sharing this for sympathy but to remind someone that things can be replaced. Lives cannot. We’re choosing to remain thankful to God for protection, for perspective, and for the quiet strength to keep going,” she wrote.

Encouraging others who may be enduring similar hardships, she concluded:“If you’re navigating a sudden loss of any kind, we hope this reminds you: we can rebuild. We can begin again and find the strength to keep going. One breath, one prayer, one step at a time. We give thanks in all things. Thank you to everyone that stopped to help.”

The couple’s post has since drawn an outpouring of support from fans and fellow celebrities.
