Imo: Truck Crushes Its Driver To Death; Witnesses Blame Construction Company |The Source

Reports from Owerri, Imo State, confirm that a truck driver, whose identity is yet to be made public, was, Friday morning, killed by his own truck.

The diver was said to be speeding when the incident happened   along the Portharcourt road,  Owerri.

Even though his speed contributed, largely, to the tragic incident, eye witnesses were quick to, also, blame the construction company handling the road.

The late driver  was said to be unaware  of a deep hole dug across the road by the company, and accidentally, ran into it because there was no road sign to warn motorists.

“The spot was  without any caution by the construction company handling the road reconstruction and the driver mistakenly ran  into the grave and fell off  of his  truck,  shattering the windscreen of the truck,  and was thereafter crushed to death by the same truck”, said an eye witness

Eyewitnesses called on the contractors to  always put signs of caution wherever they are working to avoid a re-occurence of the tragic incident.
