Tragedy struck in Abuja on Saturday when a woman was crushed to death
by a heavy-duty truck and injured many others at Biaji Road in Kubwa .
The accident which occurred at 12. 00pm was attributed to the brake
failure from the truck which made the driver to lost control of the
vehicle and rammed into a woman who about to climb a motorcycle known as
(Okada) and killed her on the spot while many others were said to have
broken their hands and legs.
An eyewitness who pleaded anonymity said that the truck hit the woman, throwing her body parts and her body into pieces.
The vehicle somersaulted several times before it plunged into the
ditch. “The car was coming from Biaji to Kubwa Village and was loaded
with beer but if not because of these bumps (speed breakers) the truck
would have rammed into the residential building and kill many people.
The woman wanted to climb a motorcycle but was hit from behind by the truck, and the okada man escaped unhurt.
The accident, which involved six cars includes; a Toyota Carina 11,
Gulf 3, Saloon Jeta, Mercedes Benz (230), Nissan Sunny and a Toyota
Rav 4 were all damaged beyond repair. The vehicles were parked along
the shoulder of the road while the owners were said to have been
relaxing at a beer joint nearby.
