A pregnant woman has tragically met
her end after a hit-and-run driver ran
over her in the middle of the road.
It was complete tragedy yesterday
at Okpoko Junction, near Upper
Iweka area of Onitsha, Anambra
State, when a hit-and-run driver
knocked down a yet to be
identified pregnant woman, who
died instantly.
The incident, according to an eye-
witness, occurred at about 4 p.m.
when the pregnant woman was hit
by an over-speeding vehicle as she
tried to cross the busy express way.
The source added that the Federal
Road Safety officials attached to
Onitsha Unit Command later
removed her corpse to a nearby
hospital mortuary where it was
deposited.
One of the eye-witnesses and
National Publicity Secretary of
Campaign for Democracy, CD, Dede
Uzor A. Uzor, who spoke to
newsmen, described the incident as
tragic and called on both the
federal and Anambra State
governments to build a pedestrian
fly-over across the ever-busy
Okpoko junction to avoid more lost
of lives and properties within that
axis.
