PUNCH Metro gathered that the incident occurred on Friday night when the ill-fated articulated vehicle collided with the tricycle, killing the rider and two commuters on the spot.
It was gathered one female passenger, who survived the crash, had earlier jumped out of the moving tricycle shortly before the collision.
