Oshiomhole escapes death in Edo crash
Governor
Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole survived a motor accident at Ewu Village along
the ever busy Benin-Auchi road in Edo State at about 9.45am Saturday,
28th December, 2013 on his way back to Benin City from his Iyamho
Village. The incident occurred at about 9.45am at Ewu, in Edo Central
Senatorial District, when a Peugeot J5 Bus filled with tomatoes and
plantains apparently lost control and rammed into the Governor’s Flag
Car from the opposite direction before swerving into a road side ditch.
Three
vehicles in the Governor’s convoy were in front of the Governor’s Flag
Car and had passed the Peugeot J5 Bus before it [J5 Bus] had direct
impact with the Governor’s Car which had the Governor, his Aide-De-Camp
[ADC] and his Driver as occupants. The Governor’s Car was badly affected
but no injuries were sustained by both occupants of the Peugeot J5 Bus
and that of the Governor’s.
The Peugeot J5 Bus was following a truck that was descending the Ewu Slope when it suddenly veered off into the Governor’s lane from the opposite direction and directly impacted on the Governor’s vehicle, apparently because of brake failure. The good story is that nobody sustained injuries in both vehicles. The Comrade Governor is hale and hearty, his ADC and other occupants of the Peugeot J5 are also in good condition.
