| Scene of the tragic incident |
By Olumide T. Agunbiade
A heavy loaded 40-foot container fell on
a government meat van yesterday, crushing a passerby and
wounding several others. The sad event took place at Ikeja on Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway in Lagos.
Eyewitnesses said the truck had swerved
off the road to avoid colliding with some policemen, who were chasing a
motorcycle rider, before the incident occurred around 9am.
The victim, identified as Samuel
Ogunnaike, was an employee of a popular phone dealer in Computer
Village, Ikeja, and was on his way to the office when he met his death. Any hope that he could survive the
accident was dashed after he was trapped for about four hours before his
body was retrieved from the wreckage.
