A middle-aged woman was on Wednesday crushed to death by a hit-and-run driver at Okpoko junction, Onitsha, Anambra state.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The deceased was said to be crossing the expressway\u00a0around 8am<\/a>\u00a0when she was knocked down by the driver who was on top speed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It was gathered that the driver sped off immediately, leaving the victim lying lifeless on the ground.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Similarly, ten persons were seriously injured in another accident that occurred along Ihiala-Onitsha expressway.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The accident which occurred\u00a0at about 8.20am<\/a>, involved a Toyota Hiace and an Actros Tanker.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Confirming both incidents, Sector Public Education Officer, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Pascal Anigbo said the corpse of the woman was deposited at the hospital morgue where the body was rushed to.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He said, \u201cA hit-and-run driver whose identity was not captured, knocked down a female adult who was crossing the expressway at Okpoko Junction Onitsha, today Wednesday 12 August, 2020.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe victim was rushed in a Tricycle to Toronto Hospital Onitsha by her parents, before the arrival of the FRSC rescue team from Upper Iweka Unit Command.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cOn arriving the hospital, the team gathered that doctors had confirmed her dead. The corpse was deposited at the morgue, in the same hospital.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
While disclosing that no death was recorded in the second crash, Anigbo said the injured were rushed to our Lady of Lourdes Hospital Ihiala, by FRSC rescue team from Ihiala Unit Command.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe Sector Commander, FRSC, Andrew Kumapayi strongly warns road users against crossing the expressways, but to always use pedestrian bridges to avoid being knocked over by vehicles plying the expressway.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cHe also warns drivers against speeding. Drivers should always drive with common sense speed limits so that they can easily control their vehicles, in the event of any emergency.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cA maximum speed limit of 50km\/hour is recommended for cars, within built-up areas. He sends his condolences to the family of the deceased and wishes the injured victims quick recovery,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
