A yet-to-be-identified motorcyclist was crushed to death by a fully loaded tipper along Nteje-Umueri junction by Awka-Onitsha Expressway, Anambra State, on Thursday
It was gathered that the accident, which occured at about 11:30, was between an unidentified driver of a commercial Mercedes Tipper with registration number XA158ZT and the driver of the motorcycle with no registration number.
The probable cause of the fatal road traffic crash was attributed to wrongful overtaking.
Residents along the area have lamented that the Nteje area of the ever-busy expressway has become notorious for road crashes, accountable for several losses of lives in recent times.
Eyewitness accounts said while the motorcycle rider was trying to overtake the tipper, it lost control, fell and the tipper rammed into him and crashed.
Confirming the accident, the acting Sector Public Education Officer, Federal Road Safety Corps, Margaret Onabe, said the dead victim had been taken away by family members to the Aguleri community.
Onabe said the FRSC Sector Commander in Anambra State, Joyce Nnenaya Alexander, commiserated with the family of the dead victim.
“She admonished motorists to watch and be sure the road is clear before overtaking; be observant with their environment and always pay full concentration to driving,” Onabe added.
