Calabar\u2014No fewer than 19 persons were killed in auto crash, yesterday, along Benin-Ore road as a diesel tanker collided with a commercial vehicle, killing all the passengers except one.<\/p>\n

The bus, belonging to Hope Express Transport Company, was carrying 19 persons. It reportedly took off from Lagos heading to the South-East when the accident occurred. Only one of the passengers survived and was rushed to a hospital in Benin City.<\/p>\n

An eyewitness told Vanguard that he was travelling along the road when the accident occurred, adding that most of the \u201cbodies of the victims were badly mangled.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said: \u2018\u2019There was blood everywhere with the property of the casualties littering the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the sympathisers at the scene of the accident blamed the sad development on breach of traffic regulations by motorists.<\/p>\n

The tanker driver was alleged to have abandoned his lane and crossed the pavement.<\/p>\n

Corpses of the victims were taken to a mortuary in Benin and the tanker driver arrested by the police for interrogation.<\/p>\n

In a related develop-ment, few kilometres away from the scene, there was another fatal accident involving a trailer and a Mercedes Benz, which left property worth several thousands of naira destroyed.<\/p>\n

Eyewitnesses at the scene of the accident claimed that serious cases of injury were recorded as the Mercedes car was terribly damaged.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
