It was a tragic and unconventional incident as a truck with no driver inside it killed a woman in Anambra State.

The incident happened at Ezeiweka Road axis of the Onitsha—Owerri Road, Onitsha, at about 3.pm on Thursday.

It was gathered that the Mack Truck was parked, while goods were being offloaded from it; and all of a sudden, it rolled off without any driver inside it.

However, as attempts were being made by people to stop the truck, it speedily knocked down a woman and crushed her to death before it was eventually stopped. The woman was also trapped under the truck.

It was gathered that rescue team from the Federal Road Safety Corps RS5.3A1 Upper Iweka Outpost, Anambra State, rushed to the accident scene along with the Awada Police team, and made efforts to get crane to lift the 40ft container and bring out the corpse of the trapped woman and clear the obstruction caused by the accident.

However, as at the time of filing this report, the whereabouts of the truck driver remains unknown, while investigation is still ongoing.

Rip to her.

This is an avoidable scenario. Something a common wedge on the tyres of the truck would have prevented.

It's a pity how as nation we got this low

Such a strategy to be hold, I pray the departed soul find peace in the great beyond and the family bear the lost.

This is so sad. If that driver had taken every precaution and safety measures that day, that woman would have made it home to her family that night. So sad

More will continue to happen!

When standards are ditched, accidents will continue to happen more frequently.

We cannot keep making same mistakes and expect different results. Its absolutely impossible!
