By Ifeanyi Okolie
Tragedy struck, weekend, when a 10-year-old boy was crushed to death in a ghastly auto crash at Idimu area of Lagos State. The victim identified as\u00a0 Pelum Adebayo, met\u00a0 his untimely death when\u00a0 a fast moving Ford car, with plate number EF 544 MUS, ran over\u00a0 him on Isheri-Igando Road.<\/p>\n

The death of the boy, angered passersby,\u00a0\u00a0 who attacked\u00a0\u00a0 the driver, one Yomi Otti, smashing his windscreen and beating him to pulp.\u00a0 It was the intervention of police officers from the Idimu Police station, that prevented the vehicle from being set ablaze.<\/p>\n

An eyewitness, who simply identified him Ishola, told\u00a0 Vanguard that, Adebayo, was returning from an\u00a0\u00a0 errand when the driver of the car, attempting\u00a0 a dangerous overtake, lost control and crushed him to death.<\/p>\n

\u201c I was aiting to get a bus heading for Iyanoba when the accident occurred the, boy was walking in that direction when the vehicle ran over him from behind and he died at\u00a0 the spot .\u00a0 But the sight of the dead boy angered all of us and we went after the driver. \u201cHe narrated<\/p>\n

The Lagos State Police Command Spokesman Samuel Jinadu, while confirming the report said the driver of the car is at the police custody. He also urged road used to exercise caution while using the road.<\/p>\n
