Tears flowed freely Wednesday in Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State as four persons were crushed to death in an auto crash.
The incident which happened at the foot of Orogodo bridge along the New Lagos/Asaba road in the area, involved a Mack Trailer and a Motorcycle.
The four victims, believed to have hailed from the Northern part of the country, were all occupants of the motorcycle which, as at press time, was still stucked at the base of the trailer haven dragged it over a distance of 400 metres.
Although no official, either the police or the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has arrived at the time our correspondent visited the scene, eye witness account blamed the accident majorly on the pothole which is already cutting the bridge apart.
The witness who spoke to our correspondent on the condition of anonymity, also, blamed the accident, as well as previous ones within that axis on the existence of the “Illegal”motor park by the Mr. Biggs part of the road.
He said, “I saw the trailer racing down the road towards the motorcycle. When I saw it coming, I started shouting at the motorcyclist who was trying to avoid the pothole to give way, but he didn’t hear me.
“Before I could say jack, the trailer had ran over the motorcycle, killing all the four occupants” the eye witness said, subbing.
