He added that the victim was taken to the Kubwa General Hospital, where she was confirmed dead.
Similarly, a middle aged man was knocked down by two different cars at Dei-dei, along Kubwa-Zuba expressway.
Some eye witnesses said the victim was crossing the ever-busy expressway from Saburi axis to the Mobile Police Barracks around 8pm when he was suddenly knocked down by a speeding vehicle.
“The man was crossing the road, not knowing that the car was coming because the driver was driving without head lamp,” they said.
According to the witnesses, he was still on the floor when another vehicle following directly behind hit him, leaving him unconscious, and seriously injured.
