Couple, driver, three others killed in Delta autocrash

No fewer than six persons, among whom were a couple, have been confirmed dead, in a fatal road accident in Delta State.

The incident happened on Wednesday morning along the dangerous Eku/Abraka road by Oha Secondary School in the Okpe Local Government Area of the state.

Witnesses said the accident involved an ash-coloured Lexus 330 with Reg. No. TJK203HG (Lagos) and a dark green Toyota Picnic, a commercial vehicle with Reg. No. KPE 778AA.

Our correspondent gathered that the Lexus 330 was at top speed and was headed towards Warri with a suspected ‘Yahoo’ boy behind the wheels.

He reportedly lost control and rammed the Toyota Picnic, a commercial vehicle which was headed to Abraka, the university community.

All the occupants of the commercial Toyota Picnic – the couple, and driver of the commercial vehicle, died on the spot as the vehicle was squeezed beyond recognition, while the occupants of the Lexus 330 reportedly survived the crash.

Although no official reaction could be obtained, operatives of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and the Nigeria Police, Delta Command, had since evacuated the corpses to the nearest morgue.
