A ghastly auto crash that occurred near Kwaita Bridge, along the Abuja-Lokoja highway, has claimed the lives of a woman identified as Mrs. Omoniyi Rebecca and her 4-year-old child.
The woman and her child were travelling to attend her mother’s burial in the East when the motor accident occurred.
A survivor of the accident, identified only as Adelabu, said the accident occurred around 6:20pm when the Mercedes Benz car with registration number SUL 992 AA they were travelling in suddenly veered off and crashed into a ditch.
He said he, the dead woman and two of her children were travelling from Suleja, Niger State, to Ibadan, Oyo State, to attend the deceased woman’s mother’s burial, Modupe Eunice Oriade, when the accident happened.
He said the dead woman was his friend’s wife and he decided to join her to attend the burial in Ibadan.
The FCT sector commander of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Samuel Org Ochi, confirmed the accident, saying the woman’s corpse and her child’s had been deposited at Kwali general hospital morgue.
He said the driver of the Mercedes Benz sustained injury and was taken to the same hospital for treatment.
