Several people were feared dead on Tuesday night after a speeding 40-foot container truck lost control and rammed into multiple vehicles at Idemili Junction, near Oba in Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State.

The accident, which involved a shuttle bus and several tricycles, was reportedly caused by brake failure as the truck descended a slope, leaving passersby and commuters trapped.

An eyewitness at the scene recounted the chaotic moments, saying, “The trailer lost its brakes while descending and the driver struggled with the steering but eventually lost control. It crashed into some tricycles loading passengers at the junction and a shuttle bus, trapping people, including bystanders waiting for vehicles.”

Passersby and residents launched a rescue operation before the arrival of emergency responders, including personnel of the Federal Road Safety Corps.

Videos circulating on social media showed trapped victims and mangled vehicles, while FRSC officials and policemen were seen coordinating rescue efforts and managing traffic around the area.

When contacted, the spokesperson for the FRSC in Anambra, Margaret Onabe, said she was awaiting a detailed report from officers at the scene and would provide further updates as soon as possible.

Onitsha Dey Hot, God Almighty Will Help Us.

In situations like this, the truck driver always escapes unhurt
People who left their houses to hustle daily bread, what will the family they left do
Its obvious why the life expectancy is low in Nigeria 🇳🇬

Painful death, rest in peace.

what is happening in anambra state

Nairaland is probably being used as a political tool

Anambra ghetto

Kai

What a way to die

It's not as though they travelled o

They may have said to their loved ones " see you soon"


May their souls find rest

May the souls of the departed have eternal rest. My condolence to their families.

Sigh... By June, this nation's population would have massively decreased.

We have lost more lives in less than 3 months than almost the whole of last year alone.

Like... What the fvck is really going on?!!

Accidents, Rituals, Kidnapping, Banditry, etc...!

All we are doing is typing R.I.P, then moving on as if it's all normal!... How insensitive and desensitised many of you have become.

Low safety measures in Nigeria.

Anyone hope for this country to work again should just go and rest

Sad.

Nigeria has killed lots of poor and average citizens!

Fool

Your dad is not here....he is the sole owner of that title....Or are you missing him(this one you dey shout his name)

You see Ogun and Anambra, something is fundamentally wrong with both societies. Hardly will a day passed without 2, 3, 4, person hurriedly returned to their maker in the most gruesome manner.

It's as if they're in a competition.

It's well in this country oh

Nothing is certain than death, nothing is more uncertain than the time of death. RIP to dead but this is one too many deaths caused by a heavy duty truck.

Let's get the rail and sea transport on and running so that we can take these blood sucking monster trucks off the road.

What is a trailer container doing on the road


They should have a designated time for movement

Oh Lord!!!! Divine preservation Lord!

God have mercy on Nigerians

When I once visited Anambra sometimes last year I saw a place they call such name and there were many police checkpoints at that place. Very dangerous slopes, surprisingly you have police checkpoints there. Wonder if their state governor doesn't see it. It is dangerous both for road users and the police officers themselves. Just hope it is not that spot.

Anambra now na one day one trouble
