Enugu – TRAGEDY struck on Friday in Enugu, Enugu State capital, as a pregnant woman, her son and a driver died in a ghastly motor accident.
The pregnant woman identified as Mrs Chioma Constance Kwentoh and the other two met their death at Trans- Ekulu near the permanent site of the Enugu International Trade Fair.
An eyewitness said that the late woman’s daughter, identified as Miracle Kwentoh, survived the fatal accident but was unconscious and rushed to the hospital.
A brother of the late pregnant woman, Mr Ikechukwu Okwue, who spoke to newsmen in Enugu, said his sister and her children were coming from Asaba in Delta State when the accident occurred.
Okwue further disclosed that the vehicle conveying his sister and the children developed a fault at Unizik Junction, in Awka, Anambra State capital, adding that all efforts made to get a commercial vehicle to continue the journey failed due to a downpour.
He added that his late sister’s husband later sent one of his commercial bus drivers to pick them from Awka.
According to him, while they were on their way to Enugu, the driver of a lorry, who allegedly ignored traffic signs, hit the vehicle conveying them, killing them instantly.
He further stated that his sister died of shock on realising that her son had died after bleeding continuously without help.
