Trailer Rams Into Shops In Auchi, Five Feared Dead by promzy555(m): 4:54pm On Mar 09, 2022
It was weeping and wailing Wednesday morning in the northern Edo town of Auchi, Etsako West Local Government Area as about five persons were feared dead after a trailer conveying cement reportedly crashed into several shops in the city centre.

The exact casualty figure is yet to be determined as of the time of filing this report but going by an eyewitness account, over five persons died in the crash as a result of the devastation caused by the trailer.

The source who gave his name as Mr Sani Aliu alias Igbelela ill-fated vehicle which was coming from the popular upgarage area of the polytechnic town was descending the hill when it suddenly had brake failure and the driver lost control in the process.

Speaking on his mobile phone from Auchi, Sani, a stalwart of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that he was in the company of friends at the nearby Inu Umoru street when he heard a thunderous bang.

The politician said that he was speechless when he got to the scene of the accident which is popularly referred to as Igbo Shade, adding that the vehicle smashed into many shops, killing several persons and destroying goods worth several millions of naira.

He said that sympathizers have been battling for several hours in a desperate effort to pull out corpses from the rubbles of the collapsed buildings and under the chassis of the vehicle.

The eyewitness disclosed that several persons who were injured in the morning fatal auto crash have been rushed to different hospitals in Auchi and neighbouring Jattu for treatment and are presently battling for their lives.

Sani said: “Auchi is in deep mourning. Early this morning, the driver of a trailer conveying cement lost control as a result of brake failure and crashed into the popular Igbo Shade, killing several persons which included traders and buyers. Over five persons are feared dead and several are still trapped in the collapsed buildings. The figure will go up as some of the victims who were seriously injured may die in the hospital. The sigh is gruesome.”

He added that the scene has been cordoned off by a detachment of soldiers from the NICOHO Barracks and some policemen in an attempt to maintain peace and prevent looting by hoodlums.

Determined efforts to speak with Mr Shaibu, the local unit commander were futile as he insisted that he was not competent to speak on the tragedy.

What is going on.

The fear of these trailers on Nigeria road's,is the beginning of wisdom. They are so reckless and they don't value human life.

Any time stories like this break, there is never a word as to what happens to the driver or owner of the vehicle. The families of d victims are often left to bury their dead, while the perpetrator is never arrested and prosecuted but allowed to roam free

Bad road contributed to this, also those truck drivers due over stressed by driving all through night and day due to long distance to their destination.

That's why you don't need to mock people of their predicament because a good health doesn't guarantee to stay alive.
