A driver lost his life in an accident on the Iya Alaro bridge, close to Maryland, Lagos State, in the wee hours of Saturday.
Social media users who commented under a post by @Gcfrnaija1on Twitter alleged that the victim’s car was looted immediately the crash happened.
FIJ found that some young men truly chose to loot the car rather than make a genuine effort towards assisting the helpless driver.
HOW THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED
A waste collector under the bridge, who chose not to mention his name, explained to FIJ that the driver was the only person in the vehicle and was driving towards Ojota very early in the morning when the accident occurred.
According to him, the driver was driving on a high speed and suddenly hit a moving trailer on the same section of the road from the back.
“I had not come around when it happened, because it happened before dawn, but some scavengers who were here told me the driver was on a top speed and he ran into a moving trailer in front of him. He died almost instantly,” the man, who appears to be his 60s, said.
