Auto crash claims parents, 2 children •1 other on New Year’s Day

THE expectation of a family to cross over to the New Year was, on Monday, cut off, as the couple, with two of their children, died in a fatal motor accident which occured near Immigration office, Ibusa, on Asaba-Ogwashi-Uku highway in Delta Sstate.
The accident, which occurred at dusk on Monday, was at the same spot where over 10 persons were killed in another fatal auto crash before Christmas.
Nigerian Tribune gathered that the accident involving a white Golf car with registration number AG 367 GRA and an ash coloured Range Rover, with registration number BG 342 ABC, was as a result of overspeeding.
The identities of the victims were not known, even as the sum of N35,000 and three handsets were recovered from the scence of the accident by officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), which confirmed on Wednesday that one person was rescued with injuries from the crash.
Confirming the accident, the state commander of the FRSC, Mrs Sussan Ajenje, said one person was also killed in a lone auto crash in Asaba, on New Year day at about 1.00 p.m.
The vehicle, a green coloured Nissan Pathfinder with registration number SMK 601 BD, had a burst tyre.
Four other occupants of the vehicle, Mrs Ajenje said, had been admitted to the Federal Medical Centre, Asaba.
