A yet-to-be-identified female died, and two other persons were injured as an articulated vehicle rammed into pedestrians along the Onitsha-Asaba bridgehead.

It was gathered that the accident happened on Thursday and the cause of the crash was attributed to brake failure.

An eyewitness said the vehicle had a brake failure as the driver was descending the River Niger bridge en route to Asaba, adding that he lost control of the vehicle and rammed into pedestrians on the roadside.

The Staff Officer, Public Education of the Federal Road Safety Corps in Anambra, C. A Iyiegbuniwe, confirmed the crash in a statement.

Iyiegbuniwe said, “The crash occurred today, April 4. 2024 at about 3:20hrs of the day along Onitsha-Asaba Bridgehead.“It involved an articulated white and green Mercedes-Benz vehicle with registration number NKE25LG.” The vehicle had a brake failure and rammed into people. Two persons were injured, and one female was killed.

“On arrival at the scene, FRSC men took the two injured persons to Toronto Hospital, Onitsha, while the dead were taken to Toronto Mortuary.” Iyiegbuniwe quoted the Sector Commander RS5.3 Awka, Corps Commander Adeoye Irelewuyi, as sympathising with the families of the victims.

He was also quoted as advising motorists to ensure regular maintenance of their vehicles and adhere to traffic rules

Death! The end of all mankind but what will be your fate after death, what will people say after your death, where will you open your eyes after death

Rip to the dead.
These accidents are getting too much

May her soul rest in peace. Condolences to her loved ones

What a loss? Truck driver again!!! FG should do something about this menace

Break failure or not, the cause is unnecessary overspending.

Most of these accidents can be avoided if only Nigeria drivers could apply more caution and avoid overspending at all costs.

Rip to the dead, quick recovery to the injured

This thing is always happening in Onitsha. Is this a ritual renewing practice??

useless people be 🚗 with faulty brake .

Life is never valuable anywhere in Nigeria


That headbridge is a death trap with touts police road safety officials, hawkers and reckless drivers clustering up and down with no one to maintain safety


Police are always busy after that money drivers will give them


Road safety the same


Shame on them

Calamity upon calamity is the order of the day

May their soul rip

May our blood 🩸 not be paint on any highway IJN. May the soul of the departed rest in peace

RIP to the departed

This is one of the first worrying things I noticed the first time I visited onitsha, heavy vehicles driving recklessly in crowded areas.

May the Lord deliver Us by His Mercies from every/any form of Evil, Amen!

Please, let's all ensure we observe all safety Precautions and be carefully careful always.

Laslas, All men will pay the Debt of Physical Death but not all will pay the Debt of Spiritual Death.

Find Christ and Receive Salvation for Your Soul.

RIP to Her.

Stop promoting lawlessness! Always act towards solution to any problem within your area; think positively!

Death is not the end of mankind. It is the beginning of life. It is the beginning of eternity either in heaven or hell.

Dangote is not our enemy, no Nigeria is. Bad government is our perpetual enemy.

Keep shut .come and kill with your driver in my area if your head is won't be used for sacrifice.

But why this thing keep occuring on that road, can't the state gov construct a pedestrian bridge to avoid these unavoidable death happening there too often
