A staff of the Oyo State Waste Management Authority (OYWMA) has been crushed by a taxi in Ibadan, the state capital.
The woman was on Monday carrying out her duty at Ojulowo Bus stop, Veterinary, Mokola, Ibadan when the car reversed and crushed her.
An eye witness blamed the taxi driver who didn’t observe his environment before attempting to reverse his vehicle.
“If you watch carefully, you will see that the woman was carrying out her duty at the side of the road and not in any way close to the main road.
“So it is the man that did not observe well before reversing his car. They are fond of being in a hurry especially during rush-hour. Now he has put himself and the woman in trouble in the new year” the witness said
The victim was said to have been rushed to the nearest hospital.
