One person has been confirmed dead in an accident that occurred on Sunday morning at Maryland, Lagos.
Reports said the accident involved a fuel tanker that ran over 10 vehicles, leaving one person dead opposite Kresta Laurel Plaza, Maryland.
There are speculations that the tanker driver might have been drunk, as he was reportedly cruising at high speed.
“He was unaware of the fact that he had rammed into the vehicles. The person who died was avoiding being hit by the tanker. He jumped out of his vehicle. Unfortunately, the tanker ran him over, smashing his head to the ground,” according to Channels Television.
It did not take a long time for the police to arrive at the accident scene.
