The driver of the car was unhurt as people battled to put out the fire.
The vehicle, a Toyota Venza car, was plying the intra University road at the permanent site of the institution when the incident happened.
The car, driven by a student of the University, skidded off the road before crashing into a tree and bursted into flames.
The incident, which occurred around 1pm, threw lecturers, students and visitors going to and from the university into panic mood, forcing everyone to run helter-skelter for safety.
LEADERSHIP correspondent, who witnessed the incident, observed that the terrifying impact of the crash triggered a huge explosion, which later resulted in an inferno that consumed the white-coloured Toyota Venza.
All efforts to get the University’s Director of Public Relations, Niyi Oduwole, for a reaction proved abortive, as he was said to have been busy with preparations for the university’s 107th Inaugural Lecture scheduled to hold at 2pm on Tuesday.
