A road accident, involving two cars, has claimed two lives, a baby and several others injured, in Delta State.
The incident, said to be a head-on collision, occurred Saturday afternoon along Eku-Sapele road of Delta.
One of the cars is a Lexus RX 350 with Registration No. KTU 942GS Lagos while the other is a Toyota Sienna.
The impact of the head-on collision was intense as the two vehicles were crushed and damaged beyond repairs.

It was gathered that the deceased and others involved in the accident were indigenes of Oghara, in Ethiope West Local Government Area of the state.
They were said to be headed for a wedding ceremony at Agbor in the Ika South Local Government Area of the state when the incident occurred.
