TRAGIC: Fatal Okada Accident Claims 5 Lives (PHOTO)

Five persons have been reportedly
killed in a road accident that
occurred near Okada Junction, off
Benin-Lagos Expressway.
The victims were said to be heading
towards Okada town when their car hit a
stationery lorry, killing four of the
passengers instantly.
One of the passengers was said to have
died on the way to the hospital while
two others survived with serious
injuries. Meanwhile, families of the
accident victims have slammed
operators of the motor park for allowing
the driver of the vehicle to carry
passengers when they knew his health
condition.
Commenting on the accident,
Coordinator General of Save Accident
Victims of Nigeria (SAVAN), Dr. Eddy
Ehikhamenor said an alleged epileptic
patient ought not to have been allowed
to drive.
According to him, such a person was
worse than a drunk on the highway
because he could not control a vehicle in
motion in the event of seizure.
