A heavy duty truck carrying crates of soft drinks on Tuesday, at Okorodafe Roundabout in Ughelli, Delta State crushed a four-month-old baby girl, who fell off the back of her mother travelling on a commercial motorcycle, popularly known as Okada.
Witnesses recount that the mother of the baby, who is in her 30s and simply identified as Ese, was said to have been struggling to adjust the wrapper with which she strapped the baby to her back, while the Okada was in motion.
Upon falling on the ground, the baby was immediately crushed by the truck, which was coming directly behind the Okada.
