We learnt that the accident occurred at about 10 p.m. at the railway crossing behind Eziukwu Market off Cemetery Road by Ogbonna Road in the commercial city.

It was further gathered that the train was returning from the usual Wednesday Oil Mill Market, Port Harcourt which is the biggest Wednesday in South East and South South Nigeria.

A source, who pleaded anonymity told Naijawatchdog that the truck got stuck on the rail track and that the train coming from Port Harcourt rammed into the truck.

The source said that the driver was outside the truck trying to remove his vehicle but jumped into the truck in a bid to remove it from the track.

He said, however, that the driver was unable to remove the vehicle before the train rammed on his truck, killing him instantly.

The source said that the driver made effort to escape the coming train but was not fast enough with the train hitting his vehicle and cutting off his legs.

Another source and an eye-witness, Kingsley Okoro, said that the truck driver came to offload fish at a nearby cold room at Cemetery Road when the accident occurred.

“He was said to have finished offloading the fish before his truck got trapped at the middle of the rail track.

“The driver was said to have made frantic attempt to move away the truck from the rail track.

“Luck, unfortunately, ran out on him when the cargo train coming back from Port Harcourt surfaced unexpectedly.

“The driver couldn’t escape as the train rammed into the stationary truck while he was trying to fix and move his vehicle away from the rail.

“The body of the driver which was trapped under his truck was later taken away in an ambulance this morning.”

Okoro said that the cold room and its environs had been deserted as many traders who came to the area hurriedly left on hearing the news, to avoid police arrest.

However, efforts to speak with the railway authorities in Aba yielded no result as they said that they were not authorised to speak to the press on the matter failed.
