BENIN—A mother and her daughter were among the three persons who, Wednesday, lost their lives in a ghastly road accident on Benin-Sapele Road in Benin, Edo State.
According to eyewitness account, the accident occurred when a Mercedes Benz car had a burst tyre and ran into a group of people by the roadside killing three and injuring five others.
The victims were workers of Caesar Construction Company and a policeman attached to the company who were eating at a make-shift joint belonging to one of the deceased.
The dead and the injured were taken to Stella Obasanjo Hospital in Benin.
It was gathered that workers of the company, who rushed the injured to hospital, were surprised when they could not find the driver and occupants of the vehicle.
