The incident which happened in the prime hours of Sunday, September 15, 2024, saw the driver of the car escape unharmed.
Eyewitnesses said that the billboard post, which appeared rusting, suddenly gave way and fell onto the road, striking the Corolla in motion. The driver, who craved anonymity, was full of praise to God.
