Meanwhile, no fewer than eight persons, including a nursing mother and her baby, were few days ago crushed to death in a ghastly motor accident at Otukpa in Ogbadibo Local Government Area of Benue State, along the ever busy Otukpo-Enugu highway.
Sunday Vanguard learned from an eyewitness that some of the victims were students of nearby Benue State Polytechnic, Ugbokolo.
According to him, the victims met their untimely death when a tanker ladened with petroleum product fell over a commercial Volkswagen car which took off from Otukpa and was heading towards Ugbokolo in Okpokwu Local Government Area.
“All the seven occupants of the commercial vehicle including a passenger in the heavy duty truck were crushed to death instantly and among them was a nursing mother and her about six-month old baby.
“Unfortunately, none of the victims could be rescued because no one could lift the tanker from the car as efforts by men and officers of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, couldn’t help the situation.
“It was regrettable, because it was not until the next day, that a towing truck was brought-in from Enugu State by the FRSC with which the tanker was lifted off the crushed car and its occupants whose remains were already decomposing.
