A yet-to-be-ascertained number of persons are feared dead after a truck conveying a 40-feet container, on Tuesday evening, March 4, fell on a shuttle bus, tricycles and pedestrians at the Idemili Junction, near Oba, in Idemili South LGA of Anambra.
The Spokesperson for the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in the state, Mrs Margaret Onabe, confirmed the accident.
It was gathered that the trailer suffered brake failure, while descending a hill, causing the driver to lose control and crash into the shuttle bus, tricycles and other vehicles.
“It crashed into some tricycles loading passengers at the junction and a shuttle bus, trapping people underneath the container, including bystanders waiting for vehicles,” an eyewitness account said
