Edo PDP Chairman in Auto Crash, Two Injured

Not Actual Picture

Two persons sustained varying degrees of injuries on Tuesday in an auto crash involving the convoy of the Edo State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Chief Dan Orbih in Esan Central Local Government Area of the State.


It was however gathered that Orbih escaped unhurt. It was also learnt the accident happened around 11am at Ewu Hills sector of Benin Auchi Expressway when an articulated vehicle coming down the hill ran into the convoy from the rear.
The impact of the collision was said to have pushed the convoy of cars off the road and into the ravine.
The driver of the truck as well as two other passengers in another vehicle who sustained various degrees of injury were reportedly rushed to Irrua Specialist Hospital for medical attention and evaluation.
Confirming the incident, the state publicity Secretary Mr Chris Nehikare said the party Chairman and his fellow travellers escaped by crawling out of the ravine.
He further said the PDP family in Edo State was thankful to God that no lives were lost.
Our prayers are with the Injured ones
