A trailer load with goods worth millions of naira, yesterday along Illah-Ebu expressway in Delta State, crushed a pregnant woman and three others to death, leaving two other persons who were by the road seriously injured.

Eyewitness said the driver narrowly escaped being mobbed by the irate youths in both communities (Illah & Ebu) where the incident occurred.

It was reliably gathered that the trailer allegedly rammed into the pregnant woman when one of its tyres pulled out while descending down the Illah hills, but, unfortunately, the driver’s bid to veer off from where the victim stood waiting for a commercial vehicle, proved abortive.

The trailer with registration number AA169SL, after killing the pregnant woman and three others ran into the bush where the driver and his conductor sustained minor injuries.

Our eyewitness further said that the victims before help came their way, died on the spot, a situation where the angry mob almost set ablaze, the trailer.

DSP Celestina Kalu, police public relations officer in the state who confirmed the incident, disclosed that the trailer driver was arrested and detained at Illah Police Division to avoid breakdown of law and order by the angry youths, including relations of the deceased.

Sources said the pregnant woman was joined in holy matrimony barely a year ago to a highly placed businessman in Illah community as she was pregnant for her first baby. Relations of the victims as at the time of filing this report , were seen at the accident scene, wailing.
