Tragedy struck on Saturday night at Palmgrove Bus-stop, Shomolu after a young lady simply identified as Oluchi was killed by a hit-and-run driver.
Ironically, the deceased died while trying to cross the ever-busy Ikorodu road, just a few inches away from a pedestrian bridge. The incident was said to have occurred around 8pm.
An eyewitness, who declined to identify himself, told PUNCH Metro, that Oluchi was hit by a Toyota Camry and the driver of the car had tried to avoid the accident, which almost compounded the situation.
it was gathered that the driver, in an attempt to avoid hitting Oluchi, almost caused multiple accidents as other drivers around him, were forced to suddenly apply brakes.
The source said, “Oluchi had crossed the service lane and was about to cross the expressway when the accident occurred.
“As she ran, the driver was on full speed, but seeing what was about to happen, he tried to apply his brakes but it was too late.”
