A yet-be-identified motorist has disappeared after crushing a dispatch rider to death around Charly Boy Bus Stop, Gbagada Expressway, Lagos State.

Another dispatch rider, Emmanuel Odoh, however, escaped death by a whisker as the driver rammed him alongside the dead victim.gathered that the victims were on their way to a destination in the state on Wednesday when the fleeing driver, who was at top speed, knocked them down.

Odoh said the driver, on realising what he did, fled the scene, adding that an angry mob set his vehicle ablaze. He said, “The accident happened around 1pm on Wednesday. I work with an online store, Jumia. I picked an order and went to deliver it at Mende, Maryland. While on my way back, I saw as the driver of a Hilux vehicle drove towards my directing at top speed.

“I quickly rode towards the side of the road and in the process, overtook a dispatch rider at my front. But as I looked at my mirror to know what was going on behind me, the Hilux crushed both of us. “I managed to jump on a Toyota Camry. When the driver saw me, he slowed down and that was how I managed to escape. But the other dispatch rider was not lucky; the impact of the collision threw him up. His helmet removed and he used his forehead to hit the ground. He died shortly afterwards.

So was there a court of law that found the motorist guilty & sentenced him to 'burn his vehicle'. I don't get it. What happened to authorities in charge of accidents? Law? Is this a country too?

Harsh

May his soul rest in peace. However, those guys ( dispatch rider) are something else on the highway 🛣️ government must do something about them.

Rip to the guy,but seriously government need to do something about these people,the way they drive is something else,too careless and rough

I witnessed this accident yesterday. So sad

In as much as I do not ascribe to any motorist knocking off cyclists, one must say that those dispatch cyclists are a menace on our roads. They will meander through any opening as if they're built of brass.

Sad
