Tragedy was averted early morning Tuesday when a trailer conveying an industrial container fell under the Eliozu Flyover, damaging some sections of the road and blocking access to the Rukpokwu-Airforce axis of the G.U Ake Road.
The driver and two passengers who accompanied him are said to have sustained minor injuries, and were taken away by a team of police officers stationed by the Eliozu Flyover.
Eyewitnesses said that a loud noise was heard which woke many residents of the area, and were afraid that it may be a petrol tanker.
It was also gathered that the accident may have occurred as a result of over speeding.
