A suspected Yahoo boy has reportedly crushed three auto mechanics around the Ekiugbo junction, Ughelli North Local Government Area, Delta State.
The driver of a tricycle and four occupants of the Lexus 350 jeep sustained various degrees of injuries in the accident which occured on Thursday.
The deceased mechanics were said to be fixing a broken-down truck along the East/West Road expressway when the unfortunate incident happened.
According to Vanguard, sources said the driver suspected to be a Yahoo boy was driving at top speed while returning from Effurun where he had gone shopping with his friends when he lost control and crushed the deceased mechanics.
The remains of the deceased whose bodies were dismembered have been deposited in a mortuary while those who sustained injuries including the suspected yahoo boy were rushed to the hospital for medical attention.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Bright Edafe, who confirmed the accident said three persons died in the accident.
