ACCIDENT CLAIMS ONE AT UNIZIK JUNCTION A ghastly accident yesterday evening, claimed at least one life and had about four vehicles damaged, at the popular and congested UNIZIK temporary site. According to eye witnesses, the driver of a trailer lost control of the brake of the vehicle and rammed into a Toyota Salon car whose occupants later escaped unhurt. In a bid not to wreck more havoc, the trailer driver swerved to the right side of the road crushing a keke driver instantly. The on lookers made straight for the driver of the trailer in a bid to carrying out jungle justice, save for the prompt intervention of the security personnel who whisked the driver away. Some of the eye witnesses who spoke to this reporter on the condition of anonymity, urged the government of the state to put machineries in place to decongest the ever busy junction. They also urged the road contractors handling the road to hasten up to avert similar occurrence. The president, Students Union Government, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Comrade Noble Eyisi, speaking with our reporter, stated that he had to leave what he was doing as soon as he was alerted, to ascertain the level of damage on a first hand basis and to ensure no UNIZIK student was involved. Comr. Eyisi called on students who ply the route to always be alert when plying the route as there has been series of accidents at that junction in the past. It could be recalled that a similar incident involving a trailer which claimed more than 3 lives on the spot, occurred at that same junction not more than 3 years ago °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
