A cab man lost his life while two other persons sustained injuries when his vehicle skidded off the Mubushi VIO bridge in Abuja on Tuesday evening, July 19.
An eye-witness claimed the dead man hit another vehicle but did not wait prompting the driver of the brushed vehicle to attempt to overtake the offender.
In the process, the cab was hit and the cab man reportedly lost control of the vehicle and skidded off the bridge, falling several metres below.
The cab man died on the spot.
The witness, Ihechukwu Dallas Chima, wrote:
“When you’re driving on the road learn to take it easy. This evening I came across an unavoidable accident that would have been averted if only if the two parties had shown little tolerance. Side mirror that this gentleman now late hit on another road users car but refuse to stop an sought the matter caused him his life at Mabuchi expressway flyover. He was hit by the other driver and lost control and fell off the bridge. Please let’s learn to show love life is too expensive. May his soul rest in peace”
