Nollywood Actress, Rita Edmond survives car crash

New kid on the block, Rita Edmond, cheated death by the whiskers when she had a ghastly car crash, last Sunday morning, while returning from a show in her Acura MDX SUV, which was damaged beyond repair.

According to the singer who narrated the ugly incident to The Entertainer from her hospital bed, she is grateful to God for spar­ing her life.

“The accident happened in a flash on the Opebi Link bridge, Lagos; in a split second it was all over. It happened because I was trying to avoid collision with the vehicle to my left and then things happened so fast. I am more than grateful God kept me alive because the damage on my vehicle cannot be reconciled with the minor injuries I sustained. It’s just God’s mercy that kept and protected me.

“I sustained injuries but I am recover­ing fast. The orthopaedic surgeon says the x-ray result looks unbelievably good and that I’ll recover sooner than I think so I am hoping and praying for a speedy recovery,” Edmond said.

The musician also used the opportunity to appreciate and thank all her fans and colleagues for all the love showered on her and assured she is recuperating and would soon be back on her feet.
