In a sad incident that unfolded in Nnewi today, a tragic accident occurred on the Nnewi-Okigwe Expressway, leaving a motorcycle rider and his passenger dead. The accident took place within the vicinity of Ugwu Akpatị Ozu and the Area Command.
The incident was triggered when a tipper truck experienced brake failure while descending Ugwu Akpatị Ozu, colliding with a motorcycle carrying a passenger that was ascending the hill. Tragically, both the motorcycle rider and the passenger lost their lives in the accident.
The incident highlights the urgent need for infrastructure improvements in the area. Many believe that the dualization of the Nnewi-Okigwe-Onitsha new road could play a crucial role in reducing the rate of accidents on this road. A dualized road would have provided a divider that could have prevented such a tragic collision.
This unfortunate event serves as a grim reminder of the importance of road safety and the vital role that well-maintained infrastructure plays in preventing accidents and saving lives. Our thoughts and condolences go out to the families of the victims of this tragic incident.
