A second accident in 24 hours occurred in Anambra State due to the terrible condition of the road. Yesterday, a timber truck overturned with its load crushing a woman to death as she waited for the Nnewi market to open.
The latest accident took place on Ifite Road near Nnamdi Azikiwe University Akwa as an Anambra State Waste Management Agency (ASWAMA) vehicle collided with a student bus and a motorcyclist.
Reports from the scene say that the vehicles were attempting to avoid potholes in the road which have not been maintained.
The student bus was reportedly filled with undergraduates and many received severe injuries. The motorcyclist remains unconscious, according to the most recent report to SaharaReporters.
Photos submitted by citizen reporters show the student bus totally devastated with its roof crushed into the front driver compartment. The carnage also destroyed some motorcycles.
