In the early hours of Thursday March 13,2014 (yesterday) a trailer lost control and crashed into Diamond bank Okigwe.
The driver fell into instant coma whilst the conductor by his side died on the spot.
Lots of customers who were in the bank for early morning banking were seriously injured.
The pic above is the trailer turned upside down.
I hope the driver survives so that he can explain what happened.RIP to the conductor.
I hope all those seriously injured recover soon.
OMG!
