Great no lives was lost.....

we need to imbibe a good maintenance culture to avert disaster ....nothing like routine maintenance for majority of Nigerians....

We only do break-down maintenance or repairs...

The accident was caused by brake failure.

Either it is a fake item imported from China. Or a shady mechanic. Or an irresponsible driver who simply hasn't bothered to get it checked out.

And this is how we needlessly joke with human lives in Nigeria. No standards.

i suspect the driver. They should do a blood test. Am sure the guy was under the influence of something and using break failure as an excuse. Because he must have been overspeeding despite carrying load on his truck or how else can one explain the truck falling to the side.
