A near-tragic accident disrupted the quiet of Lagos Street by St. Finbars Road junction in Umuahia, Abia State last night as a runaway truck wreaked havoc around 8 p.m.

According to information gathered by ABN TV, a big truck reportedly experienced brake failure and subsequently lost control, crashing into a high-tension electric pole. The impact caused significant damage to the pole, electric wires, and several nearby shops.

Fortunately, no lives were lost in the incident. However, the aftermath has left affected shop owners counting their losses, while residents in the area may face power disruptions due to the damaged electrical infrastructure.

Efforts to contact the Abia State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Maureen, for comments on the incident have so far been unsuccessful.

Regrettably, no light in that area for the next one month. It will take the transmission company another 30 days to fix the affected poles as usual.

IPOB truck drivers are always high on mkpumiri which may have been the remote cause of this accident.

Hope no lives were lost?

Hmm.


If police take truck driver serious many drivers will quit.

Na only car drivers dem dey torment

Many truck drivers dey high on weed and alcohol before driving.
Some take tramadol.

Road safety no care na to collect 1k from them and police dey find youths with ride

Thank God no lives were lost. It would have been a bad festive season for families.

As far as no life lost, I'm relieved but such occurrences need be mitigated.

Abi you and the driver smoke the same Kolos ?

Why does the report says shop owners count their loss.... I can simply hold the company or the owner of the truck responsible for any damages... Trace him via the papers or rather at worse sell the damn truck and get my money back to rebuild my damaged goods. Simple.

Las Las Na community go gather money repair light because NEPA Na only estimated billing them know but the Mumu organisation no know how to fix light problem.

The truck owner should pay for damages to public and private properties.
