One female student lost her life after a failed overtake attempt led to a deadly collision along the along the Abraka-Urhouvie road, Abraka.
A
student has died in an accident that occurred near Double Delight Eatery along the Abraka-Urhouvie road,
Abraka, Delta state
at the weekend.
It was gathered that the student was killed when a Toyota
Hilux van rammed into a commercial bus before the overhead bridge in Abraka. The
student reportedly died on the spot while the other four passengers and the
driver in the bus sustained injuries.
One of the victims said that the driver of the Toyota Hilux
caused the accident after his attempt to overtake failed. After the Double
Delight Fast Food, a Toyota Hilux was coming from the opposite direction, I
noticed he was about overtaking a Jeep, but there was not enough space for the
Hilux to balance itself so it was unable to return because the Jeep was on high
speed, and there was no space for him to pass through, and all of a sudden what
was heard was a blast, and I saw myself on the ground.”
He said a "Good Samaritan" rushed them to
the General Hospital in Abraka where they received treatment. He confirmed the
death of the student. The girl on my left hand side died on the spot.
Information reaching us is that the driver died two days later," he said.
The
deceased student may be a student of the Delta State University (DELSU,
Abraka which has its main campus located at Abraka.
