It was a gory sight yesterday at Biaji Road in Kubwa, Abuja as a heavy-duty truck lost control killing one woman and injuring many others.

The truck reportedly rammed into the woman who was said to have been trying to board a commercial motorcycle (popularly known as Okada) killing her on the spot.

Witnesses say the woman’s body parts were scattered all over the scene of the accident which was said to have been attributed to brake failure.

An eyewitness who craved anonymity said, “The car was coming from Biaji to Kubwa Village and was loaded with beer but if not because of these bumps (speed breakers) the truck would have rammed into the residential building and kill many people.

“The woman wanted to climb a motorcycle but was hit from behind by the truck, and the okada man escaped unhurt,” he said.

The accident involved sic cars which were parked by the side of the road close to a relaxation joint. The vehicles involved include a Toyota Carina 11,  Gulf 3, Saloon Jeta,  Mercedes Benz (230), Nissan Sunny and a Toyota Rav 4.

Officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and Nigerian Police were seen at the scene of the accident collating necessary information on how the accident occurred.
