A trailer on Monday morning knocked down a commercial tricyclist. The driver of the trailer quickly ran away as soon as the incident occurred.
The motor-boy (conductor) of the trailer, however, was apprehended.
The incident occurred at New Road, after the Ministry Junction in Sapele, Sapele Local Government Area of Delta State.
It was learned that the trailer driver was speeding on one of the lanes on the road when the tricyclist entered the same lane as the trailer, which knocked him down, causing a serious head injury to the tricyclist and seriously wounding his passenger.
The trailer quickly fled the scene, but its conductor was apprehended and beaten to a stupor.
