The actress who features more in Yoruba movies went on to say all the occupants of the car escaped unhurt despite the severity of the crash.
She went in to share the video of the incident, as she appreciated God for preserving her life.
Speaking via her social media page, Arugba wrote: “This happened a day to my birthday, I kept this to celebrate and thank God Almighty first, my Keeper, Olowogbogboro Hallelujah.
“We were on the third mainland bridge, driving home gently, the road was free, suddenly a vehicle came from behind as though it wanted to overtake us, but he turned abruptly and gave the car a hard hit that looked intentional, my car started turning, hitting different angles and all we could shout was JESUS.
“It faced the bridge, we thought it was over, but suddenly it made a turn, and sat at the edge of the bridge, surely there is power in Jesus’ name.
“We came down unhurt, and started calling friends, while waiting, I started sensing something bad was about to happen again, and then I started praying at the top of my voice by the car.
She continued, “None of the passing vehicles stopped cos it was late. I had barely stopped praying when another vehicle came from nowhere and gave the car a harder and stronger bash repositioning the car by automatically lifting the car to the road.
“You don’t want to imagine the state I was left in. How and why would my car be bashed twice within the space of an hour? If this was plotted in a movie scene it would be tagged “unrealistic”. But hey? This is real!”
This development comes several months after Bukola Arugba and fellow thespian, Damola Olatunji, parted ways after spending eight years together as husband and wife.
