A truck driver, Femi Adewale, has reportedly done what only few Lagosians would do after accidentally killing someone.
According to a report published by Punch, Adewale on Sunday reported himself to the police station in Alakara division after he crushed a tricycle rider to death in the Mushin area of Lagos.
The 31-year-old, who hails from Sagamu, Ogun State, was said to be heading for Ibese, Ikorodu, when the incident happened at about 6.30am.
It was learnt the truck, with number plate, XB 499 LSR, had rammed into the tricycle from behind and the rider was thrown out by the force of the crash.
An eyewitness, Nurudeen Akintunde, stated that the rider, whose name was not identified, landed on the road after which the truck crushed his body.
“The rider died on the spot. The driver abandoned the truck, but I later learnt that he went to the Alakara division to report himself,” Akintunde added.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the incident when contacted, and added that the driver had been detained.
