A motorcyclist was on Friday in a road crash at the Customary Court Junction along Igboukwu-Uga Road, Anambra State.
The crash involved a red trailer with registration number JJ496QF and a Lifan motorcycle with no registration number.
The unidentified rider of the motorcycle was said to have died on the spot while two others sustained injuries.
The probable cause of the crash was attributed to excessive speed and loss of control.
It was learnt that the driver of the trailer, who was at high speed, lost control and rammed into the oncoming motorcycle in a single carriageway.
Three male adults were involved in the crash.
The injured victims were taken to Apex Hospital, Ngo, while the motorcyclist was confirmed dead by the doctor on duty and his corpse deposited at the hospital’s morgue.
The Anambra State Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Mr Adeoye Irelewuyi, lamented the frequent crashes on the road and advised motorists to be more safety-conscious on the road.
