The truck, loaded with chippings, suffered brake failure due to the deteriorating condition of the road. Fortunately, no casualties were recorded.

The incident occurred at the same dangerous spot along the Federal Government’s F107 Road, where a tragic accident in December 2024 claimed the lives of eight travelers heading home for Christmas.

Speaking to ABN TV, the truck driver recounted the harrowing experience and how he managed to minimize damage despite losing control of the vehicle.

"When I realized the brakes had failed, I did everything possible to prevent a major disaster. To avoid endangering other road users, I swerved the truck into the gutter on my left side. We are grateful that no lives were lost," he said.

The driver further disclosed that he had loaded his truck with chippings from Amasiri in Ebonyi State and was transporting the materials to the construction site of the Omenuko Bridge in Abam, Abia State, a project currently being undertaken by the Abia State Government.

Motorists and residents have consistently raised concerns about the deplorable state of the F107 Road, particularly the Nmuri Hill section, which has become notorious for frequent accidents. Many have called on the Federal Government to urgently rehabilitate the road to prevent further tragedies.

The recurring accidents at Nmuri Hill highlight the pressing need for immediate repairs and enhanced road maintenance. As calls for government intervention intensify, stakeholders emphasize that proactive measures must be taken to ensure the safety of commuters and protect lives on this critical highway.

Tell your state governor to fix the road like other state governors who fixed federal roads in their states. After all the FG pays back states that fix federal roads in their domains, abi until more people kpuff for the same road? A south easterner who as governor did the same thing is now works minister so this should not be so hard.

Truck drivers are reckless lots 😔

most don’t know how to operate the trucks they drive. No training. No license

Those who are meant to die will die!

And those who are destined to live will live!

To Live come hard pass to be Born

Nothing like red soil , you need to ophthalmologist.

He slept off.

is it not necessary that state government should fix the road and demand refund from federal government and also go for those that left the road in it presenting state by not executing the contract(s) there were given

The results of voting incompetent, and old and dull people into power..it's a pity

Tinubu is a diseater

Abia state road construction is mainly in aba and umuahia as other local govt is left untouched.

WHERE IS ORJI UZOR KALU, THIS IS HIS CONSTITUENCY IN THE FEDERAL SENATE CHAMBER AND THIS IS A FEDERAL ROAD ALSO HE IS THE CHAIRMAN OF SOUTH EAST DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, HE WILL NOT SEE THIS ONE AND ACT SWIFTLY TO REDEM THE SITUATION BUT WILL BE WAITING FOR THE GOVERNOR TO START WORK SO THAT HE CAN CLAIM GLORY. THE AMIABLE AND PEOPLE GOVERNOR KINDLY EXTEND YOUR DEVELOPMENTAL HAND UPTO THIS ROAD FOR A MIDAS TOUCH
