Two persons died as the car they were travelling in, plunged into a river at Ikpoba Hill in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of Edo State, IGBERETV reports. An eyewitness said that the vehicle was travelling from Ring Road towards Ramat Park at high speed before the driver lost control and hit the pavement, then plunged into the river on Sunday night, April 2, 2023. The accident caused a traffic jam on Monday as passengers were left stranded for hours while the officers and men of the Edo State Road Safety Corps battled to bring the situation under control. Confirming the incident, the state Road Safety Corps Public Education Officer, Oreva Ukoh, who spoke through Theresa Momoh, an officer of the Public Education Department, said the occupants of the vehicle were likely coming from a party on Sunday night. She said the driver of the vehicle was possibly on a high speed and could not control the vehicle. "Two persons were actually involved in the accident, one male adult and a female adult. They died in the river before help could reach them,” she said. “It is obvious that the man, who was the driver, was on a high speed because that night, there were few road users on that road, so he probably had the whole road to himself. It’s a surprise to see that the car plunged into the river. However, it is as a result of speeding. They were dressed like people coming from a party.” Facebook user, Austine Okunzuwa shared video from the accident scene with the caption; "Happen today morning 3/4/23 at ikpoba river"https://www.facebook.com/100004663050355/posts/pfbid02BFZKnjFjvX3EFzTAqsv9VeQwgowz6qi2HCtWBENDwJDYjEZYgRgJ21AnssNMks87l/?app=fbl https://igberetvnews.com/1442420/two-die-car-plunges-edo-river-photo/ 1 Like 1 Share

Hmmm ... interesting. This had to be Edo ... PR head Oneva Ukoh Are they sure the car was speeding and driver lost control? I more want to believe the car had a problem. Look at the photo .... do cars really have such axles? ... that car has been heavily modified by Kazeems... maybe salvaged car fixed up. |

Be careful. Between life and death is thin line. Just few minutes apart. Over speeding kills. |

Look at one of the tyres. Extremely low threading. Nigeria is a banana republic ruled by orangutans. Many things cause road accidents. Driving on worn thread tyres implies that when you slam the break the tyres slide rather than grip. You end where you don't want to. I'm not saying this is what caused the accident. One of the tyres definitely is below the thread threshold. 2 Likes |
