2 dead as trailler rams into building

A truck rammed into a
building along Airport Road, Igwuruta,
Rivers State Tuesday leaving two dead
and one wounded.
The dead include driver of the trailer
number plated RIVERS A 630 KNK and an
occupant of the building he crashed
into.
The vehicle loaded with pipes was said
to be coming from Owerre and heading
for Port Harcourt when it lost control at
Igwuruta and rammed into the building.
Margret Amadi, an occupant of the hit
building who survived the accident said,
"I am a stylist.
I was working with three colleagues
when we heard a loud sound. We all
fainted and regained consciousness to
realize the building had collapsed on us
from the impact. We survived but one
neighbour was not so lucky"
Another occupant of the building who
runs a bear pallor claimed losing over
million naira worth of goods damaged
over the accident, but angry Chukwuma
who owns an electronic shop in same
building declined comments "Until the
truck owner surfaces."
A youth leader in the community,
Johnson Chiwendu said, "We have to
take drastic action against truck drivers
plying this road. Last time it was a
Dangote truck crashing into a building
and killing two too. It is one truck
crashing into living homes to many."
