Three others occupying the vehicle reportedly sustained varying degrees of injury in the crash.

A witness told newsmen on condition of namelessness that there were four occupants in the vehicle, the driver include, when the accident occurred.

“The driver was travelling at high speed, and was making a phone call when he lost control of the vehicle. The truck fell off the flyover and he died on the spot, while the three others were seriously wounded,” the witness said.

He stated that sympathisers, who rushed to the scene of the accident, extricated the four occupants from the vehicle.

“The driver of the truck died at the hospital around 9.30pm,” the eyewitness added.

 The accident was confirmed by  Director General of Delta State Traffic Management Agency, Mr. Stephen Dieseruvwe.
