Meanwhile, THE WHISTLER reports that a pedestrian was killed over the weekend at Ojota after being struck by a truck while attempting to cross the expressway illegally.

The victim, whose identity remains unknown, reportedly ignored the designated pedestrian bridge and tried to dash across the busy expressway when he was hit by a truck traveling along the main carriageway.

He died on the spot from the impact.
