A yet-to-be-identified driver escaped death after crashing his truck along the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, Anambra State.

It was gathered that the incident happened on Sunday while the driver was using the truck to convey foreign woods to a destination in the state when he suddenly lost control of the vehicle and crashed.

The impact of the crash which occurred opposite the Zim Zam Hotel, around Enugu-Agidi Junction, created a fire that engulfed the truck.

According to PUNCH, an eyewitness said the fire started around 2.29 pm, and it razed the truck and the goods worth millions of naira in the truck.
