Tragedy struck in Agbor on Tuesday, Delta State when five persons including a woman and her two children were crushed to death by a fuel-laden tanker near a traffic light along the old Lagos/Asaba road in the hilly town.

The woman whose identity was not immediately known and her two children were said to be returning from school on a motorbike.

Three other persons were seriously injured while five vehicles were destroyed .

Eyewitness account said the driver of the tanker who was ascending the Orogodo River hill lost control as a result of brake failure.

In the confusion, the tanker started to roll back, thereby dragging the motorbike along after crushing the woman, her two children and three others.

Tribune Online reports that a mammoth crowd gathered at the scene of the accident watching the dismembered body of the woman and her children.

The state Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Ibrahim Abubakar confirmed the incident when contacted on Tuesday.

Anyways:

Two things here: first, there's no report of what happened to the tanker driver and his vehicle. Will he be prosecuted for manslaughter? As long his prosecution won't make money for FRSC, I think not.

Second, one rule of driving is that drivers/riders keep some appreciable distance between themselves and heavy vehicles in front of them because of incidences like this. If the bike man had known that rule and observed it, this family wouldn't have died.

Spit on your ass

You made FTC at a gory and horrible post showing people's demise and you are celebrating .

Hmmmm, what have we done to deserve you being born in this country?

Many of these used trailers have serious brake failure problems before shipping them to Nigeria.
In Nigeria, we're too poor to think straight enough to know that when the tankers transmission system fail as it attempts to climb an elevated road, it's disaster waiting to consume souls.
Rip to the dead. The country will not save its citizens
