Again, Hit-and-run Driver Crushes Road User In Anambra by IzunnaOkafor(m): 9:53am On Jun 01 |
By Izunna Okafor, Awka An unidentified female pedestrian has been crushed to death by a yet-to-be-identified bus driver in Anambra State. The incident happened at about 12:57pm at the ever-busy Upper Iweka axis in Onitsha, where the pedestrian was about crossing the expressway, before she was knocked down by the speeding commercial driver of a Toyota Hiace bus, who also zoomed off immediately, without stopping to check on his victim. Confirming this in a statement made available to newsmen, a Staff Officer Public Education at the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Anambra State, ARC Charles Iyiegbuniwe, said the FRSC rescue took the victim to the Toronto Mortuary, Onitsha, after doctor's confirmation that she died instantly. According to him, the Sector Commander, FRSC Anambra, CC Adeoye Irelewuyi, has commiserated with the family of the victim, advising vehicle owners to desist from speed, and to always ensure their vehicles are roadworthy. He said the Sector Commander also cautioned drivers to always “grant every road users the equal right of way, because road does not forgive.” Recall that, barely six months ago, a commercial tricyclist was similarly knocked down at the Green Tower Junction, off the Godwin Ezeemo Int'l Press Centre, in Awka, the capital city of Anambra State, by an unidentified reckless driver of a car, who also sped off immediately the crash occured, leaving the Keke driver half-dead on the ground where he was bleeding profusely (with his two legs shattered) before the intervention of some sympathizers who rushed him to hospital.

Chai....this is why the Ogun state government has refused to do anything about the depletable condition of their roads. Most road users are insane.... either they are over speeding (with vehicles) or they are crawl-crossing busy roads. Either ways, RIP to the dead 2 Likes |

Chai.. Oppiiweka,, I've seen a man divided into two in an accident there at the same Oppiiweka in Onitsha. Is our population still up to 200m? RIP to the victim. May God assist the family with fortitude to bear the loss. Amin. 1 Like |

It's so obvious that there's no dignity for the living or the dead in Nigeria, even dead animals are treated with more respect than the disdain with which citizens are treated while alive or dead by our system in Nigeria. How can you put a human being either dead or alive on a stretcher in the back of a pickup, what happened to all the monies appropriated for ambulances and first aid etc |

In Lagos, busy roads have street lights and pedestrians bridges on busy roads. FRSC and other agencies are also at those spots to caution or arrest offenders who refuse to obey street lights or use pedestrians bridges. Does the place have a pedestrians bridge or Law Enforcement Agents to arrest offenders? |

BigYash:Dem dey take Mkpuru whatever. At times, the fault is always from the pedestrians who are always in a hurry. That's why they need Pedestrians bridges and street lights. |

Pepperdemisback: Pedestrian bridge is far to the usual hot place. ...and it was constructed just few years ago unlike the old Oppiiweka. Sure there are street lights, but accident happens more during the day. cHAi.. |

Re: Again, Hit-and-run Driver Crushes Road User In Anambra by Pepperdemisback: 6:22pm On Jun 01 |
STEWpid:Better be late than be the late! Where did she hurry to now? It is advisable for the Government to make barriers and start arresting them there. |
