Reports say the unidentified man, a mate to the driver of the haulage truck with Registration Number XT 727 LSR was trying to place a wedge behind the tyres when they rolled over him, squashing his head which caused his body twitching as blood was gushing out of where his head was and which was now a mess of brain and bones.

The victim, according to eyewitnesses, was about 35 years old, and hailed from one of the northern states.
“The driver must have indicated that the brakes had failed and his mate jumped down from the truck in order to place a restraining wedge to slow down or stop the vehicle, which was on the NAHCO side of the International Airport Road,” the witness added.
The accident happened around 1.00p.m. on Monday January 7 and the body lay beneath the truck, the head crushed and trapped under the tyres till about 2.10p.m. when it was finally moved in a commercial vehicle with Registration Number XU 840 EKY to Ikeja General Hospital mortuary.
The truck has since been towed off the road to avert a traffic jam.
