An unidentified woman has been crushed to death after a 40ft container fell from a rolling trailer at the busy Eze-Iweka area near Upper Iweka Bus Stop, along the Onitsha-Owerri Road on Thursday evening, October 19.
According to reports, the truck parked by the roadside while goods were being offloaded, suddenly started moving. It was while the truck was moving, that the 40ft container it was carrying fell and crushed the victim who was by the roadside to death. The dead victim was still trapped under the container as rescue efforts were still ongoing to lift the container and remove her body.
Confirming the incident, the acting Sector Public Education Officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Margaret Onabe, attributed the cause of the crash to brake failure, adding that the police were making efforts to get a crane to lift the 40ft container.
“An unidentified driver of a commercial Mark trailer at about 15:08hrs on Thursday, was involved in a road traffic crash. The probable cause of the fatal crash was brake failure. According to eyewitnesses, the truck was packed, while goods were being offloaded and all of a sudden, it rolled off without a driver inside and hit one person.
One female adult was involved. She was killed by the 40ft container the trailer was carrying.
