Truck Kills Vulcaniser Fixing Tyre On Ogun Highway

A road crash on Wednesday evening along the Ewekoro section of the Lagos–Abeokuta Expressway, Ogun State, has claimed the life of a vulcaniser who was repairing a truck tyre by the roadside.

According to the spokesperson for the Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency, Babatunde Akinbiyi, that two other persons — a driver and his assistant — sustained injuries in the accident.

Akinbiyi explained that a HOWO truck had been parked by the roadside while its tyre was being fixed by the vulcaniser when another truck developed a tyre burst.

The burst reportedly caused the second vehicle, a MAN Diesel truck, to lose control and ram into the stationary HOWO truck.
