A small truck conveying reinforcement rods lost control and hit a pole.

A fruit selling a.boki without looking entered the road and in a bid to avoid crushing him, the truck driver swerved to the left and when he was about hitting an oncoming vehicle he swerved to the right, lost control and hit a pole.

Hitting the pole isn’t the major issue here. The problem is that the pole carries live wire connected to a transformer next to the hotel I lodged.

To make matters worse, when it hit the pole, as the pole fell it fell with other poles with wires on them. And then the wires fell on the tricycles with the Keke drivers and passengers in some of them.

Thanks to God as before phedc could react, the fuse in the transformer tripped off.

The following pictures are what I could get.
