Two persons said to be Wema Bank
workers yesterday lost their lives in an auto crash near the City Gate
along the airport road in Abuja.
An eye witness said
that a Toyota Corolla car, with Lagos registration number LSR 570 AM,
lost control and veered off the highway and crashed into a culvert.
According to him, the car had two
women, a driver and another man on board the official car when the
fatal crash happened. The dead were women.
Confirming the accident, Federal
Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Rescue Team Leader, Airport Road, Mr. Agah
Terhemba, confirmed that the four people involved in the accident were
employees of Wema Bank.
Terhemba said, “Commuters alerted
us of the accident at City Gate and when we arrived at the spot, two
unidentified women who were involved in the accident were already dead.
The other passenger, Mr. Garuba Oga, and the
driver, Mr. Ade Adeleke, sustained different degrees of fractures.”
The rescue team leader said that
the two deceased women had been deposited at the mortuary while the
other two had been rushed to Kings Care Hospital in Wuse Zone 4, for
treatment.
He said the accident may have
been caused by over speeding and cautioned drivers to resist the
temptation to drive too fast on the highways to prevent accidents.
