A
bottled water seller in Owerri, the Imo state capital, identified as
Chibueze Uguru, was yesterday crushed to death by a heavy duty truck
that lost control.
The truck with the registration number, Lagos
XY - 844 - EKS, according to an witness account lost control at the the
holy ghost secondary school - Assumpta road and hit a non moving pay
loader before ramming on the young man who was hawking on the road side
which led to his instant death .
The eyewitness said that the
truck which was conveying sharp sand stocked in cement bags, was coming
into town from the Onitsha road before officials of Imo Environmental
Transformation Commission who were on duty to stop heavy duty vehicles
from accessing the state capital in the day time allegedly went after
it.
He said that, the driver of the truck noticing that the
ENTRACO officials were after him, paddled off, but unfortunately he lost
control and started horning and shouting for people to desert the road,
but that was to late, as Uguru, was smashed to death by the speeding
truck.
