The unit commander said that the motorcyclist was trapped under the trailer, NAN reports.

He noted that the corpse of the commercial motorcyclist had been removed and deposited at Ifo General Hospital.

The commercial motorcyclist and two others were involved in the crash, but the other two victims did not sustain any injury.
