Tragedy struck in Ikere-Ekiti on Tuesday as the back of a trailer detached, hit an abandoned tanker and crushed a 27-year-old graduate selling roasted yam.
Although the lady was rescued and taken to a hospital immediately after the accident, she later died after about two hours.
The lady, Busayo Akogun, a graduate of College of Education, Ikere-Ekiti, was said to be assisting her mother at a roadside kiosk when the accident occurred. Her mother was also said to have been crushed against the wall of a filling station and sustained a serious injury.
One of the eyewitnesses, Mr. Adekunle Olowolafe, said the legs of the mother were crushed.
Blood stains were seen in the rubble while personal effects of the victims littered the scene when our correspondent visited the area.
But the grill and the local oven on which the lady and her mother were roasting the yam were still standing while the roasted yams were well set on the grill.
Policemen and officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps who arrived the scene quickly evacuated the victims to a hospital.
