A man identified as Raphael Abraham escaped death by a whisker on Friday, March 5, as a tipper rammed into him and a Mercedes Benz and pushed him into the gutter at Eliozu Junction in Port Harcourt, Rivers state.

It was gathered that the driver of tipper lost control when the traffic warden stopped the lane abruptly forcing him to ram into the car, damaging the bumper beyond repair.

The truck hit Abraham, who was standing at the scene of the accident and pushed him into a gutter but he miraculously survived with minor head injuries and bruises.

Meanwhile, the driver of the tipper has been moved to the Eliozu police station for investigation.
