Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that it was a Black Wednesday today as 21 people were reportedly killed by a BUA cement truck in Auchi, Edo State. (Read More Here).
The eyewitness disclosed that several persons who were injured in the morning fatal auto crash have been rushed to different hospitals in Auchi and neighbouring Jattu for treatment and are presently battling for their lives.
Sani said: “Auchi is in deep mourning. Early this morning, the driver of a trailer conveying cement lost control as a result of brake failure and crashed into the popular Igbo Shade, killing several persons which included traders and buyers. Over five persons are feared dead and several are still trapped in the collapsed buildings. The figure will go up as some of the victims who were seriously injured may die in the hospital. The sigh is gruesome.”
He added that the scene has been cordoned off by a detachment of soldiers from the NICOHO Barracks and some policemen in an attempt to maintain peace and prevent looting by hoodlums.
Determined efforts to speak with Mr Shaibu, the local unit commander were futile as he insisted that he was not competent to speak on the tragedy.
