Two persons were on Sunday crushed to death by a lorry in front of the Anambra state Kenneth Dike library axis of the Awka – Onitsha expressway.

 
The deceased, a commercial motorcyclist and his female passenger were said to be heading towards Aroma junction when they met their sudden death.
 
An eyewitness, simply identified Ogbuche, also a cyclist, said the deceased was driving against the traffic when two of them were knocked down by an oncoming SUV from the opposite direction.
 
He said they were still lying on the floor when the articulated lorry coming directly behind the SUV crushed them to death.
 
"The okada man took one-way because the road he could have taken was blocked by the police due to the INEC office located along the road," he said.
 
He said policemen on election duty were able to stop the trailer driver some meters from the scene of the incident while the SUV driver ran away.
 
Daily Trust gathered that the officials of Road Safety Corps who arrived the scene almost immediately evacuated the remains of the victims.
 
Meanwhile, a driver of a Rover Saloon car also crashed into the wire mesh recently put in place by the state government at the same spot about 15 minutes after the dead bodies were evacuated.
 
Eye witness account however said the two occupants of the vehicle came out alive with minor injuries but were also taken away by the FRSC personnel for medical attention.
