“Three people out of the six people in the Dyna van died on the spot. Three others sustained severe injuries.

It was a sad day for the families of some commuters involved in ghastly auto crash on Monday.

The crash involving Dyna van and a trailer at the old Aba–Umuahia highway in Abia state left scores badly injured, while three people were confirmed dead.

An eyewitness maintained that the impatience and reckless driving on the part of the driver of the  van caused the accident.

The van with plate number, EZA 826 YF, loaded with wood and other roofing equipment rammed into a trailer conveying cement at the Ntigha/Umuaro junction leading to Akwa Ibom state.

The trailer driver coming from the Ntigha/Umuaro road, according to an eyewitness, was said to be moving toward the old Aba –Umuahia highway when the crash happened.

“Three people out of the six people in the Dyna van died on the spot. Three others sustained severe injuries. The trailer driver did not navigate very well before joining the Ururuka road which left the driver of the van, who was on speed confused and he rammed into the trailer.”
