Imo: Final year student crushed by truck on way to exam hall
A student of the Imo State university, Owerri, has been crushed to death by a truck on Tuesday morning.
The victim, said to a final year student of IMSU, was on his way for the school’s first semester exams when the incident happened.
The truck, with registration number Ebonyi XD 520 AKL, crushed the yet-to-be-identified student just a few meters away from the campus around 7:50am, reports say.
Reports say the truck suffered brake failure.
As the truck approached a tricycle the student was in, he reportedly panicked and jumped out onto the oncoming truck.
Police confirmed the incident, but details are still sparse on the student’s identity as the school was still busy with exams at the time of the incident.
