Five persons, comprising three women and two children have been rescued by members of governor Fayemi’s press crew at an accident scene that occurred along Igede Aramoko road on Friday evening.
The crew spotted the accident while returning to Ado-Ekiti after covering the official Inauguration of the Aramoko-Erijiyan-Ikogosi road project reconstructed by the Kayode Fayemi Administration, and commissioned by the governor of Sokoto State, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal.
Members of the Press Crew on getting to the scene alighted from their bus, and conveyed the victims who sustained varying degrees of injury to the state University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti, where they were attended to.
The accident involved a truck and a Volkswagen golf car both heading towards Aramoko-Ekiti.
The victims, trapped in the vehicle, were left unattended to, as most of the commuters and sympathizers could not rescue them, but rather were using their mobile phones to record the scene.
Eyewitness account linked the accident to over speeding and recklessness on the part of both drivers.
It was also gathered that the truck lost control due to break failure and crushed the golf car while attempting to overtake it.
One of the occupants of the golf car, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said they left Ilejemeje local government area of the state and was heading for Aramoko when the incident happened.
