Truck Crushes Pregnant Woman to Death in Ogun, Child Hospitalised
A truck crushed a pregnant woman to death and injured her two-year-old child in Magboro, Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun state on Saturday, September 9.
The Punch reported that the truck driver lost control of the vehicle after it developed brake failure and veered into the market, hitting several people and objects.
The truck also smashed a car and a motorcycle, which were trapped under it. The truck driver was said to have fled the scene immediately after the accident.
The pregnant woman, whose identity is yet to be identified, was said to have come to the market to buy some food items when the tragedy struck.
An eyewitness who pleaded anonymity but was at the scene of the incident said:
“She was the first person to see the truck coming. As the truck was coming uncontrollably, the pregnant woman was trying to run away with her little child, but the gown she wore hindered her from running faster. So, she fell, and the truck climbed on her.”
When contacted after the incident, the spokesperson for the Ogun State Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Florence Okpe, said:
“They (FRSC officials) will send the report to me immediately after they are done with the rescue.”
