Woman narrates how she cheated death when container fell off trailer on her way to work

A woman is fortunate to be alive after a container fell off a trailer. 

The woman named Sylvia Egbuji narrated how a parked trailer caused a traffic jam, having blocked the entrance to the street she was trying to drive into. 

She said a LASTMA official approached and asked her to park beside the trailer. However, she didn’t. She reversed, instead, and drove into the street through a different route. 

Shortly after she drove off, the container fell off the trailer and landed on the spot where the LASTMA official had asked her to park. 

Sharing her experience,  she wrote: “Something happened this morning on my way to work, I’m still filled with all kinds of thought… 

“But one thing I learnt long ago is never to ignore anytime I have a sign that something is about to happen… 

“As I was about entering the street I noticed a Container truck was parked at the entrance, arguing with agberos…. So I asked the person with me to step down and control the cars coming out so I can enter.  

“He stepped down and was going to the other end to stop the cars when a LASTMA walked up to me and asked me to reverse back and park at one corner so the truck can go, I told him to allow me since I’m the only car coming in, he said no that I should go and park where he asked me to park.. 

“I reversed back and one thing just said don’t park you have alternative use it, Instead of parking I entered the main road and drove into the next street to connect through it. I called the person that stepped down and told him that I’m coming in through the other street, he said better… 

“The moment I bursted through the other street I saw cars reversing, then the person that stepped down walked up to me and said guess what, that container don fall ooo, guess where it landed, exactly at the place I was asked to park … E still be me like Nollywood… 

“I was still in the car, a call came in, and it was my sister, she said someone told her about the container and she wanted to check and be sure we are safe….. I no see mouth tell her weitin happen….”
