A cart pusher has been pronounced dead after being involved in a fatal auto crash that occurred around a Cement Bus Stop along the Lagos -Abeokuta express road in Dopemu.
It was gathered that the ill-fated commercial bus with number plate EPE 474 Y J knocked down the deceased before colliding with a stationary construction crane along the road.
As learnt, the commercial bus driver experienced a break failure and the effort to stop the over-speeding vehicle resulted in the accident that claimed the cart pusher’s life.
