Many people were killed on Friday night in Anambra State when a speeding truck rammed into them.
The incident reportedly occurred at about 9:33 p.m. along the Chisco Park Junction in Amichi, Nnewi South Local Government Area of the state.
Witnesses told PREMIUM TIMES that the truck appeared to have suffered brake failure and then crashed into the victims. A CCTV footage of the incident has been circulating on social media.
In the footage trending online, some of the victims were seen engaging in night trading while others were waiting to board a vehicle when the truck crashed into them.
The footage showed some of the victims lying lifeless and in a pool of their blood after the accident.
“A few of us who saw the trailer coming towards our direction quickly ran away before it got to us,” one witness, who asked not to be named, said.
“We believe it must have been a brake failure,” he added.
