MANY LIVES WASTED

Over ten persons were reportedly killed in a ghastly road crashes involving different commercial vehicles along the Enugu-Abakaliki Expressway in Ebonyi State, yesterday. 

Newsmen who visited the scene of the accidents, which occurred almost simultaneously along the major highway, included Ezilo axis of Ishielu council area of the state and 135, Ezzamgbo of Ohaukwu council area of the state claiming many lives, including the drivers. 

Though officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, could not confirm the accurate number of casualties, one of the survivors of the Ezillo accident, who identified himself as Mr. Ezekiel said that the accident occurred when the driver of a white bus coming from Awka to Abakaliki tried to overtake a Sienna saloon car and headed-on with another bus from Abakaliki. 

The eyewitness blamed the driver of the bus he was travelling in for reckless driving, adding that the accident could have been avoided if the driver had heeded several warnings from passengers. 

Ezekiel said the driver tried to overtake the Sienna and ran into another bus coming from Abakaliki which was also on high speed.


He stated that both drivers lost control of their vehicles, leading to a head-on collision adding that the Siena bus skidded off the road and somersaulted many times, killing so many people in the process.
