Truck Crushes Two Commercial Buses In Onitsha, Many Feared Dead (Photos) by NaijaCover(m): 4:00am On May 04, 2023
Many people were feared dead and others injured when a truck laden with cement crushed two commercial buses at Upper Iweka in Onitsha, Anambra State, Reports.

It was gathered that the truck lost control at the ever busy and accident prone area of Asaba park on Wednesday, May 3, and crushed two commercial vehicles loading passengers along the expressway.

Eyewitness said that the casualties could not be ascertained at the time of filing this report, but noted that many people lost their lives while many others who sustained various degrees of injury were rushed to Toronto hospital for treatment.

“We saw the truck coming with speed and suspected that it might have lost control and ran for our dear lives before we knew what was happening, it crushed two passenger buses loading along the road killing some people and injuring others,” the witness narrated.

"That spot has been an accident prone area where many accidents had happened in the past claiming many lives. It is based on the frequent accidents at the spot that made the state government to put signs of ‘don’t load, no bus stop’. But some commercial drivers always ignored the instructions and signs and load passengers to Asaba and Bridgehead.

"I want the government to ensure strict monitoring and patrolling of the area by its Taskforce to arrest defaulting drivers and impound their vehicles to stop further loading at the place and to safeguard the lives of the passengers and passersby” he stated.

Spokesperson of the State Police Command, Tochukwu Ikenga, who confirmed the accident said that police was yet to get the details of the accident and the number of casualties.

"He warned commercial bus drivers to load at designated parks and bus stops and cautioned truck drivers against overspeed and constant check and maintenance of their vehicles to reduce accident on the roads.

Anyhow country.. No order or whatsoever.

A country that don't have speed limits on any of its roads

A country that don't have roads that's not playable by heavy duty vehicles.

A country that over half of the drivers on the road didn't properly learn driving or it's ethics.

A country that half of the drivers on the road have no driver's license

A country where no one cares if the driver is drunk or not.

A country where drivers toggle between lanes intermittently like it's driving competition..

A country where if the driver see pedestrian crossing that's when they will increase the speed of the vehicle. Very devilish people

A very lawless and failed country..

Na so person go dey house them go call am say make he come identify the dead body wey motor kill wether na him relative... God I can't imagine myself being the receiver of such bad news..

Please, God protect us from the many evils of this land called Nigeria

Rest in peace to the deceased.

Which kind of life.
This still boils down to bad governance and a decayed society.
Lack of control measures, good roads and useless drivers getting licenses

A senseless guy commented on a news post where clerics died in Ekiti in an accident. He said hope they were not part of those who voted APC. Now some of the victims here voted Obi, does it mean they got the reward of voting Obi ?? Some people are just naturally senseless

May God repose the soul of the departed
