What's all these trucks kiiilling people in Onitsha? The MOT and FRSC should do something about the road worthiness of trucks in Anambra.

RIP

What is the physics behind this really? Yes I know having a burst tyre most likely a frontal one on most vehicles can likely cause panic on the part of the driver. But this is a truck and the resultant swerving from left to right and back should be nearly impossible considering the weight of what it is dragging.

Except ofcourse the driver tried over-correcting and differential G-forces on the trailer and its load cancelled out whatever correction the driver was trying to do.

This is an extreme and rare case. Trucks burst tyres all the time but they don't fall as a result. This driver was clearly inexperienced.

Too bad

Ya father

The "killed victim" bad report.

The corpse, the remains, the dead body. Correct. The editor didn't proof read or probably a mistake. But it undermines the efficacy of a good media report.
