A fatal accident at Akesan Junction in Igando area, along the Isheti-LASU road, Lagos has claimed the live of a 24-year-old graduate of Sociology from Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT), Miss Chinenye Roseline Ude.
The lady was killed last week while taking her father, Mr. Anthony Ude, who had an injury on his hand to the nearby Divine Blessing Hospital, across the Isheri-LASU Road, in Akesan village, for treatment.
It was gathered that while they were waiting to cross to the opposite side of the expressway, the driver of a tipper lorry, with registration EPE 299 XE, loaded with sand, lost control of the wheel and headed for the side of the road where Mr. Ude and his daughter stood.
When they saw the vehicle heading towards them, father and daughter fled in different directions. Sadly, the vehicle went after Chinenye, killing her instantly.
