Two persons have reportedly lost their lives in a fatal auto crash that occurred in the early hours of Saturday, in Benin, capital of Edo State.
The crash occurred along Sapele Road, by PZ Junction, when a Toyota bus reportedly crashed into a stationery Ford Truck.
An eye witness who craved anonymity, attributed the cause of the crash to over speeding by the Toyota bus driver.
Following the incident, a riotous mob that gathered at the scene of the accident set the truck loaded with drinks ablaze, resulting in a heavy traffic gridlock on the busy highway for hours, causing motorists to divert to alternative routes in the axis.
