A woman was crushed to death on Friday by a truck near a timber market in Nnewi, Anambra State.

The woman, whose identity was not immediately known, was killed as she waited early morning for the market to open for business.

The truck, carrying timber, slipped off the dirt road and fell on the woman, who died instantly.

A witness said the truck fell because of the terrible state of the road.
