A female pedestrian was crushed to death this morning by a container that fell from a moving trailer, at the Berger area of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway .
The trailer was heading out of Lagos around 7a.m when it lost one of its tyres, making the driver to lose control of the truck.
As he struggled to regain control of the truck, it tipped over to its right side.
As the truck fell, it landed on the woman, who was walking beside the road, in search of a commercial bus to her destination.
The unnamed woman died instantly while a gridlock formed on the outbound Lagos side of the busy expressway for hours.
Traffic officials are currently at the scene trying to lift the truck and its container with a crane back on the trailer’s tyres.
