Lagos police traffic warden is killed by a noodle truck.
In an accident involving a truck and five other vehicles in the Lekki neighborhood of Lagos State, a female traffic warden was crushed to death.
According to MEDIA, the truck driver who was delivering noodles to the Lekki axis on Thursday lost control of the vehicle after experiencing brake failure.
He is alleged to have struck several cars near the Shoprite exit of the Lekki-Epe Expressway, where he also struck the police officer.
The corpse was retrieved by her coworkers, and the truck was hauled to the Maroko Police Division, according to our correspondent, who was on the scene of the incident.
"An SUV broke down in the middle of the road out of Lekki this morning," a witness who only went by the name Bayo reported (Thursday). The traffic warden and a few LASTMA employees then took a position in the median and began directing the traffic that the car had produced. Standing on the median backing approaching cars from the toll gate, the policewoman was struck by a truck that came up the culvert from behind and knocked her to the ground. On the opposite side of the road, the truck also caused damage to nearly five vehicles.
The deceased was walking to meet her coworkers after finishing up traffic control, according to a Lekki Concession Company official who spoke on the record under the condition of anonymity.
She "died on the spot," according to an LCC official.
