A traffic warden in Delta State has allegedly caused a serious accident after physically struggling with a driver over control of his steering wheel on Warri Airport Road.
The confrontation reportedly began after the driver failed to stop at a red traffic light, prompting the warden to grab the steering wheel.
The struggle led to the driver losing control of the vehicle and crashing into an electric pole, leaving his 2016 Toyota Highlander badly damaged in the process.
The incident has since raised two major questions who bears responsibility for the crash, and who will be held accountable for the damaged electric pole.
A traffic warden was allegedly dragging the steering wheel with a driver for not obeying the traffic lights, at Warri airport road, in Delta State, Nigeria.
And unfortunately, the driver rammed into an electric pole destroying his 2016 Highlander.
