At least one person was feared dead in Umuahia, Abia State capital on Tuesday after an articulated vehicle, popularly known as a trailer lost control and crashed into a crowd displaying wares on the roadside, ABN TV reports.

The fatal accident which occurred at Ahiaeke Junction along Ikot Ekpene Road also led to the destruction of property.

Despite the efforts of the trailer driver conveying bamboo sticks to avoid casualties, the vehicle struck a keke (tricycle) and dragged its driver under it.

Also, a young man on a motorbike was also hit and dragged under the lorry, resulting in severe injuries.

The crowd who witnessed the driver's efforts to prevent further damage protected him from angry mob and escorted him to the Ehimiri Police Station.

Recklessness and lack of vehicle maintenance. But the driver's effort to curtail the damage is noted.

O Lord have mercy on us

This is my area. I witnessed the accident. May his soul rest in peace.

In the quest to seek our daily meal, may we not be a meal to the grim reaper.

Life has no purpose, but an endless loops of nightmares.

May the almighty God protect us from accidents in Jesus name

Jesus

The way accidents take dey happen for Abia state of late calls for concern.

If you know that road very well you will know that accidents are inevitable on it

Rip to the dead. But If it's not Abia, it will be Anambra. Obi has brought a lot of bad luck to my girlfriends region. Not a good thing to be called Obituarists.

God have mercy on us all ooo... Rest in peace to the dead ...

May God Almighty protect us all as we approach Ember month.

We shall all see the end of this year

The trailers in Umuahia drive recklessly. Last time I went there, they would follow one way and still taunt you to enter the bush or be hit.

Talking of maintenance, just look at the slick tires of that tricycle. 100m braking distance enough for it to go under trailer and come out at the other side.

We really have a long way to go in this country.

I am beginning to think this is a deliberate act by those trailer drivers in the East.

These is another form terrorism.

Hmmmmm
