On Friday, a multiple road accident involving roughly four automobiles caused gridlock along the Aba-Owerri motorway.
The accident occurred near the Okpala intersection in the state’s Ngor-Okpala Local Government Area.
According to our source, a truck failed to break and collided with another truck transporting bottled malt drinks at a bridge at the intersection.
One of the vehicles ended up in a ditch, while the lorry it collided with split in half, blocking a section of the bridge. A bus and a Toyota Corolla were also involved in the collision.
An official of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) who spoke to our correspondent at the scene attributed the crash to over speeding and poor maintenance of the trucks.
“This is what we have been battling since 5am that this accident occurred. It’s as a result of bad car maintenance and over speeding that made that particular truck to bash the other truck conveying bottled drinks,” said the FRSC official who didn’t want his named mentioned.
“Thankfully, no life was lost in this accident, but you can see the work on hand to clear up the bridge which is as at now almost blocked.”
Commuters traveling from Aba to Owerri and vice versa must wait for hours to cross via the bridge’s tiny tunnel.
Commercial motorcycle riders are taking advantage of the situation, with some charging double the standard fee to transport desperate customers across the Abia-Imo state border.
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Appreciate it!
Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any recommendations?
My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on several websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
