Three persons on Saturday died following a road crash along Ogwuashi-Uku-Kwale Road in Delta State. The incident occurred at about 2.45 pm.
Others who sustained varying degrees of injuries were rushed to the hospital for medical attention.
Deputy Governor of Delta State, Sir Monday Onyeme, witnessed the incident while on his way for an assignment at Kwale. He was said to have directed the rescue of the victims.
An eyewitness said the accident involved a Mercedes Benz GLK marked KUJ 326 CE – Abuja, and a bus belonging to St. Philip’s Anglican Church, Asaba.
The source who was one of the sympathisers at the crash scene, said officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) were on hand to evacuate the dead with their vehicle marked 52011.
Although the cause of the crash which occurred at Isheagu Junction could not be ascertained, the source suspected that it was a head on collision.
The Sector Commander of FRSC in the state, Udeme Bassey Eshiet, confirmed the accident, but could not give details, saying that he was yet to receive situation report from field officers.
