By Charity Nginyu

Two bike riders cheated death today April 18 in Mvog-Mbi market, Yaounde, as a truck carrying cartons of raw eggs overturned at the market entrance.

Eyewitnesses recounted that the truck, while attempting to ascend a small hill leading to the market, suffered a malfunction, careening into an electronic shop nearby and crushing two bikes in its path.

According to reports, the truck toppled over, trapping the bikes and their riders beneath its weight. Miraculously, the two bikers managed to escape the threat of death by leaping from their bikes just moments before the truck collapsed onto them.

Police officers worked swiftly to establish the sequence of events, while efforts to extract the trapped bikes from beneath the truck commenced.

Meanwhile, the driver of the truck was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
