An overspeeding suspected Yahoo Boy has reportedly crushed two auto mechanics to death in a fatal accident along the Ughelli-Effurun expressway in Ughelli, Delta State.
Five others including a driver of a tricycle otherwise known as Keke and four occupants of the speeding vehicle survived the accident with life threatening injuries.
The accident occurred around the busy Ekiugbo town Junction in Ughelli at about 12:55pm on Thursday.
It was gathered that the suspected Yahoo Boy alongside four others were returning from Effurun where they had gone shopping when the accident took place.
The deceased mechanics were said to be fixing a broken down truck along the Expressway when they were crushed by the speeding Lexus 350 jeep.
The two deceased mechanics who died on the spot were dismembered.
It took the efforts of sympathisers who thronged the scene of the accident to pick up the dismembered bodies of the victims.
The injured victims including the suspected yahoo boy were rushed to the Samuel Jereton Mariere Central Hospital, Ughelli, for treatment.
An eyewitness told our correspondent that the driver of the Lexus 350 is believed to be ‘a learner.’
The remains of the victims were deposited at a morgue in Ughelli.
When contacted, the spokesman of the Delta State Police Command, DSP Bright Edafe, said he has not been briefed of the incident.
