Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A 40-feet trailer with a faulty brake system on Thursday evening killed a middle-aged female pedestrian along Ezeiweka axis of the Onitsha-Owerri Road, an official of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has confirmed.<\/p>\n

FRSC\u2019s Sector Commander in Anambra, Mr Adeoye Irelewuyi, confirmed the incident to NAN on Friday in Awka.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to eyewitnesses, the trailer was parked while goods were being offloaded from its container and all of a sudden, it rolled off without the driver inside. It hit and trapped the woman.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe FRSC rescue team from Upper-Iweka Outpost with the Awada Police team made efforts to get a crane to lift the 40-feet container, but the trapped victim was already dead.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Awada Police Division is making efforts to arrest the driver of the trailer who escaped.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd as of this morning, we are still making efforts to clear the obstruction and ensure free traffic flow,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

While condoling with the family of the dead, the sector commander warned motorists to desist from disobeying traffic regulations.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdhere to minimum safety standards with regular maintenance of your vehicles to avert this kind of crash.<\/p>\n

\u201cDrive to save your life and the lives of others on the road,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
