A trailer reportedly belonging to Dangote Group on Wednesday crushed an entire family at Four Corner Junction in Enugu State.
Eyewitnesses said the victims, who were inside a vehicle, did not survive the accident.
A video circulating online shows the car completely flattened by the truck.
It was gathered that security operatives and emergency responders later arrived at the scene to restore order and facilitate rescue operations.
Traffic was also grounded, with motorists experiencing long delays at the busy expressway.
The Enugu State Police Command and the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) had yet to issue official statements regarding the circumstances of the accident as of the time of filing the report.
A viral video on social media showed some residents mourning the incident and expressing anger and frustration over recurring fatal accidents involving heavy-duty trucks on the highway.
The development comes days after Ruth, sister of former Big Brother Naija winner, Phyna, died from injuries sustained in an accident involving a Dangote Group truck.
Following Ruth’s death, the management of Dangote Group said arrangements were underway to fly her abroad for treatment before she passed on.
Activist, VeryDarkMan, has been campaigning against the reckless attitude of Dangote Group drivers on Nigerian highways.
He also claimed that the driver involved in Ruth’s accident had no valid licence.
