An eyewitness, Mr Obeten said the truck had lost control and veered off into one of the victims (teenager’s) compound where she and her mother usually sell petty food items, crushing her to death on the spot.
The eyewitness told Vanguard that the young girl who was an only child of her parents was “crushed beyond recognition like a fly in front of her premises” where the vehicle veered off to while her mum and few other people escaped unhurt.
Findings showed that the vehicle was returning from the Nigerian Breweries depot at Abomege, neighbouring Ebonyi State to Calabar before the tragic incident occurred.
Vanguard also learned that the driver of the vehicle had killed two persons earlier at Itigidi, Abi local government area, and was on the run before the second incident happened.
As at the time of filing this report, the remains of the girl had been evacuated by men of the Federal Road Safety CorpsFRSC,but that of the conductor was still trapped at the scene of the incident.
