A* A* A* horrible...

You may not even have time to react.

With bad roads like the one in this case, you could be in your lane inching forward with several vehicles ahead of you. The other lane with traffic heading in the opposite direction is also moving slowly...and suddenly, there is a trailer plus container beside you. If the container loses balance and you are fortunate that it tips over slowly, you may have enough time to escape through the passengers side of your car. Unfortunately, the more likely scenario is that the container will tip over quickly and in the panic and confusion, the average driver of the smaller car won't stand a chance.

I thought I knew how to drive until the day I was negotiating a sharp bend up a very steep hill in the early 2000s on a road trip through Ondo and Kogi states (en route to Abuja), only to see a huge trailer racing down the same hill at exactly the same time. I cannot put into words the cold fear that I felt that day - I literally froze on the steering wheel as I waited for the inevitable. Fortunately for me, that trailer driver took that bend like a professional and I lived to see another day. He was speeding very fast so if he had lost control and swerved out of his lane, I would have been crushed and ground to powder. All of this happened in less than five seconds.

That day humbled me and I haven't forgotten it. Its an awful thing to have your life in someone else's hands, hoping and praying he doesn't make a mistake.

RIP to the late Akuma. The government has his blood on its hands.

Dymaco:
Don't ride beside this big container truck, drivers will never hear. This truck can fall at anytime in a bad road. Rip to him

highchief1:
as a driver u don’t stay side by side with a container.it’s not done,I’m either in front or behind.nobody survives it

If it was in my area

I'm 2000% sure that driver of that truck would have been beaten to death by now.

You need to make example out of people

Only then these truck drivers will come to their senses..

Because these evil truck drivers endanger lives of many people daily on the road

And majority of them just don't give a Bleep

I saw one truck still driving after one of the tires got burst. They don't care about the lives of others on the road..

Then they carry faulty truck and enter bad road..
Wtf do you expect to happen?

thatigboman:
they were travelling on the opposite sides!!! Haba, even with the picture, u still didn't get?

SKYHIGHfx:
Nothing day this life

GYBABA:
The way I shouted Jesus when I saw how the container crushed his car ehn even shocked me. I hope painful death evades me. He come be like say his death was planned. Another person sitting just beside him would have been totally safe. God abeg.

See road in an oil producing state. Umahi abeg fix this road

Abagworo:
I thought Wike completed this road this 2023 or I'm missing something. This is the road that runs from Igwuruta via Chokocho, Okomoko, Egwi, Okehi, Eketa , Okpala etc.

Googledotcom:
I witnessed this, it happened last week Thursday. A very sad incident.

I don't know what Rivers government is doing cus that road is part of Etche local government.

EkelediliBuhari:
Wike refused to repair this portion of the road out of vengeance for the former chairman

Gerrard59:


State governments who wait for the FG to fix FG's roads are stoopid. Akpabio did not wait for Jonathan before he worked on federal roads in the state. I think Buhari even go-ahead to state governments to fix bad roads then later request payment from the FG. From the report, e fit be say the road na from the Abia side.

This truck drivers will have sense, first if only we have a reasonable government in place, this type of accident is a regular occurrence in Lagos, and you will hear the the authorities warning truck drivers that failure to use a latchet on the load will attract a fine, at the end nothing still happens and the cycle keep repeating itself. useless country with useless organisation
