The Anambra State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has confirmed the death of a man, who was hit by a truck driver plying one-way at Owerri Road in Onitsha on Sunday.
The Sector Commander of the FRSC, Mr Andrew Kumapayi, told 9News Nigeria correspondent in Awka that the accident occurred at about 11: 40 a.m.

“According to eye-witnesses, the truck driver drove against traffic and hit a man who was crossing the expressway after alighting from a tricycle.
“The man was rushed to Toronto Hospital, Onitsha by men of the Nigeria Police Force before the arrival of the FRSC rescue team from Upper Iweka Outpost.
