A tragic road accident has claimed the lives of three children in Abraka, Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta State. The incident occurred on Easter Monday when a Mercedes GLK 350 car, driven at high speed, crashed into a rickshaw, locally called Keke, ferrying the children and their father. According to eyewitnesses, the driver of the car was reckless and lost control, leading to the fatal accident. The children died on the spot, while their father sustained serious injuries. The identities of the victims have not been disclosed, and their destination at the time of the accident is still unknown. The Special Assistant to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori on Security, Hon. John Enamuotor, expressed shock at the incident, alleging that the driver might have been under the influence of drugs. “This is an accident scene that took place along old Benin/Abraka road in the late hours of yesterday 21/04/2025,” Enamuotor said. “The vehicle was coming from the beach at a high speed and rammed on the three children killing them on the spot.” The injured father is currently receiving treatment at the Government Hospital, Abraka. Enamuotor’s account of the incident suggests that the driver’s excessive speed was a major contributing factor to the tragic accident.
