A Tipper conveying a full load of red mud lost its front tire, lost control, and rammed into two tricycles popularly called "keke-Napep," fully loaded with passengers in its speed rave. It crushed a Lexus X series jeep on its path against a high tension pole that ended the speedy rave.
This happened along the popular Opobo federal road in front of the Grail Message Temple at Starline Junction in Aba, Abia State. So far, no lives have been lost, and the injured have been taken to the nearest hospital.
Eyewitnesses said that the injured victims have been rushed to GMP hospital along Azuka Road in Ogbor Hill on the Ikot-Ekpene Road in Aba.
The owners of the properties involved in the accident have been contacted, including the owner of the clean new Lexus Keep.
The driver of the tipper is nowhere to be found as he scrambled for safety out of fear for his life as people could mob him.
