The accident
occurred at 11:05 p.m. at Regina Caeli Junction on the Enugu-Onitsha
expressway. According to the Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps
(FRSC) in Anambra, Andrew Ikumapayi, the woman died on the spot. Kumapayi said
the woman’s corpse had been deposited at the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu
University Teaching Hospital morgue, Awka. The FRSC commander reiterated the
call for pedestrians to be careful on the road, especially during festive
periods, because of increased vehicular movement.
He said: “My advice to road users especially
pedestrians during this season is to be extra careful when crossing the road.
“They should endeavour to use the pedestrian bridge provided, there is any, and
if there is none, they should look left, right and left again to make sure that
the road is free before crossing. “Let them wear reflective clothes when
walking in the night so that they can be seen by oncoming vehicles.”
