At Mile 2, a tanker was involved in an accident which occurred in the early hours of Friday.
The accident was reported to have claimed the life of an unidentified woman, while the driver of the tanker is said to be on the run.
According to the spokesperson of LASEMA, Nosa Okunbor the tanker involved in the accident has the registration number KSF 260 XY and was loaded to capacity with 55,000 litres of PMS (Petrol ) when it ran into a pothole and fell sideways due to reckless driving.
He said;
“the yet-to-be-identified female adult female passenger who was trapped inside the tanker with her head crushed to the truck dashboard, eventually lost her life in the incident which occurred a little after midnight close to the Nigerian Army Signal Barracks.”
“The incident has resulted in a shutdown of major roads that link Mile 2 and it’s environs despite the swift response of the LASEMA Response.”
