A trailer loaded with iron rods has crashed into the perimeter fence of the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Umuahia, Abia State capital, when the heavy-duty truck lost compression while climbing a hill along the Umuahia–Ikot Ekpene Expressway.
Penpushing reports that the incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday near Finbarrs Road, close to the Abia State High Court, causing a major traffic gridlock along the busy expressway.
The trailer driver, declined to give his name, however, said the accident occurred at about 2:00 a.m, explaining that the vehicle lost compression while ascending the hill, causing it to roll backwards uncontrollably before crashing into the fence of the Federal Medical Centre.
Penpushing further reports that as at the time of filing this report sources said there was no casualties recorded; however, the incident led to heavy traffic congestion during the morning rush hour as motorists struggled to navigate the affected section.
