An
unstrapped container fell off Thursday and crushed two persons to death,
according to eyewitnesses. The victims are believed to be the driver of an Eko
Meat Van and his assistant. The
van was crushed along Agege Motor Road, Ikeja, Lagos, southwest Nigeria. Eyewitness
said six other injured victims were immediately taken to hospital for
treatment.
One
of the witnesses said what caused the accident at about 9.30 a.m was that a
truck conveying two 20 feet containers rammed into an Eko Meat Van when some
policemen attached to the Rapid Response Squad, RRS, were chasing a commercial
motorcycle operator, Okada, plying the prohibited Agege Motor Road.
