TRAGEDY: ‘Drunk’ driver kills three family members in Ibadan

                                     
    Three members of a family were on Thursday night crushed to death by a Honda Pilot jeep driven by a young woman on Adeoyo State Hospital Road in Ibadan.

     An eyewitness, who simply identified himself as Vincent, told newsmen that the driver, who had a passenger beside her in the car, was drunk, adding that a three-year-old kid was among the victims.Vincent said, “The lady was apparently drunk. She was racing alongside other friends on the road when she lost control of the car, killing the three before ramming the car to an electric pole. The accident happened at about 8.30 pm.”
    Vincent added that friends of the driver quickly evacuated bottles of whisky and other drinks from the car before the police arrived at the scene. “I think they were coming from a party or a club. The driver should be a daughter of a rich family because she was well dressed and her friend drove powerful cars. She was also taken to a hospital by her friends,” he said.
    The Police Public Relations Officer, Adekunle Ajisebutu, said there was an accident around the area on New Year Day, but did not give detail.He said the police had begun investigating the incident.
