No fewer than four persons said to be hawkers around the Onitsha axis of the Niger bridge were on Friday, killed in an accident.

A source said the accident occurred when a truck moving from Onitsha to Asaba suddenly developed brake failure, causing it to run into the traffic, smashing vehicles.

Though a number of vehicles were involved in the accident, a source said hawkers in the area were the worst hit as they lost four persons.

The source said: “The truck lost its break and ran into the traffic, smashing several vehicles.
