STAR ACTRESS, SHAN GEORGE IN AUTO CRASH


Another calamity in the Nigerian entertainment industry was averted a couple of days ago as star actress, Shan George survived an auto crash that would have claimed her life.
As man always propose and God dispose, it was Shan George’s plan to make a stopover at Asaba for a movie job before proceeding to Lagos the next day, sadly, Shan ended her journey on hospital bed.
The unfortunate mishap happened on Enugu/Onitsha expressway, and AWW reliably gathered that the screen goddess was driving from Calabar to Asaba when a speeding Toyota Camry left its lane and rammed into the driver’s side of her white- coloured Toyota Rav4.

Moreover, while the ageless actress was battling with her life during the car crash, AWW scooped that petite thieves took the advantage and robbed her of valuable belongings.   Though, the gifted actress cum producer who expected to be discharged in a couple of days, left leg was injured, she is still in shock!
Recounting the ghastly incident, Shan George who has been full of praises to God for sparing her life to tell the story, said, “I’m still awe of God’s goodness. The impact was directly on my side of the car yet I’m not carrying any major injury. Nigerians are really wonderful people, abandoned their businesses as to help out at the accident scene. The traffic department of police in Enugu handled the case very well and we are all good.
“My car is already being fixed as I recuperate from the shock. I’m begging Federal government to fix interstates roads. Some of us hate flying, I vomit whenever I’m in plane, also, driving is my passion,” she concluded.
