Serious traffic accident on the road connecting Lagos to Jabir on the night of Thursday to Friday. A man and a woman, both pedestrians without wearing reflective vests at night, lost their lives after being hit by a car whose driver noticed too late.
The accident, the police say, happened on the road connecting Lagos to Jabir. The two pedestrians were on the roadside, and at some point they were surprised and injured by a 40-year-old seat car driven by a 40-year-old man. The impact was strong, and both the 64-year-old man and the unidentified woman were still killed.
The driver told the police that he had not seen the two of them because of the darkness. He noticed them with a fraction of a second before impact, in the light of the headlights of another car running from the opposite direction. The two victims did not wear any reflective clothing with reflective materials, say law people, but a reflective vest with reflective tape was found in the man’s net. Moreover, a bicycle was found at the scene of the accident, but at the moment the law people did not determine whether the two were circulating on it or not.
People of the law must now identify the woman who had no act on it. In this case, a criminal case was filed for murder.
