No fewer than three people died on New Year day along Adeoyo State Hospital Road, Ibadan, Oyo State.
The three-member family was on Thursday night crushed to death by a Honda Pilot Jeep at about 8:30pm in what could be regarded as a New Year tragedy.
Sources said that the family members were having a New Year stride on the street when they met their untimely death.
An eye witness told our correspondent that the Honda Pilot Jeep which was driven by a young woman was on high speed and the woman who appeared to be drunk after killing the trio, rammed into an electric pole.
It was gathered that the woman who drove in the company of another woman was in a convoy of other cars when the accident occurred.
It was revealed that cartons of hot drinks and beer were evacuated from the car to another one before the lady and the other woman were taken to the hospital.
Sources further revealed that the corpses of the deceased were later taken to the Adeoyo Hospital mortuary along Ring Road in Ibadan by policemen on patrol.
The Honda Pilot Jeep was yesterday taken to the Oluyole Police Station.
When contacted, the acting police public relation officer in Oyo State, DSP Adekunle Ajisebutu told our correspondent that an accident involving an Okada rider occurred at
Majerita/ Adeoyo Hospital Road area on Thursday night.
