Vehicular movement was delayed in the early hours of Saturday as a tipper driver crushed one blind beggar to death who was about crossing Benin-Auchi road to the opposite side, around by-pass.
It was gathered that the daughter who was crossing her father escaped as she was a little bit ahead.
An eyewitness stated;
We saw what happened, the man is a blind beggar who was crossing the road with the help of his daughter. They were almost at the centre of the road, they wanted to cross and pass through the roundabout but were very unlucky as a tipper driver crushed him on the head and he died instantly, but nothing happened to the daughter.
It was gathered that some tipper drivers were on ground to direct vehicular movement and the dead beggar has been evacuated to a nearby mortuary.
