Articulated vehicle crushes woman to death in Osun
New Year, tragedy struck on Wednesday evening in Osogbo, Osun State capital, when a loaded articulated vehicle rammed into fleet of vehicles plying Oke-Fia Road, on Ilobu, crushing an aged woman to death in the process.
Eyewitnesses informed the Nigerian Tribune that the driver of the truck lost control of the vehicle, due to break failure, before the trailer rammed into other vehicles behind.
One of the eyewitnesses, a driver who simply identified himself as Waheed, told our correspondent that scores of people were also critically injured in the incident.
According to Waheed, when other drivers saw that the trailer could no longer move forward, they started reversing, with a view to escape being crushed by the trailer.
"The trailer reversed with speed uncontrollably and rammed into other vehicles while some occupants of the affected vehicles sustained varying degrees of injuries," he stated.
Waheed continued, "One of the passengers whose identity could not be established while trying to escape, jumped out of a mini-commercial bus popularly called 'korope' but she was unlucky as the trailer crushed her head.
A team of policemen from the state Police Command who stormed the scene of the accident less than 30 minutes after its occurrence towed the trailer and other affected vehicles to the station.
