Emotions ran deep Tears on Wednesday in Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State, as four persons were crushed by a trailer.
The incident which happened at the foot of Orogodo bridge on the New Lagos/Asaba road in the area, involved a Mack Trailer and a Motorcycle.
The four victims, believed to have hailed from the Northern part of the country, were all occupants of the motorcycle which, as of press time, was still stuck at the base of the trailer having dragged it over a distance of 400 metres.
Although no official, either of the police or the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) had arrived as of the time this report, a witness’ account blamed the accident majorly on the pothole which is already cutting the bridge apart.
The witness blamed the accident, as well as previous ones in that axis on the existence of the “Illegal”motor park by the Mr Biggs part of the road.
He said: “I saw the trailer racing down the road towards the motorcycle. When I saw it coming, I started shouting at the motorcyclist who was trying to avoid the pothole to give way, but he didn’t hear me.
“Before I could say jack, the trailer had run over the motorcycle, killing all the four occupants” the witness said, sobbing.
