Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A black-coloured Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) used for ambulance services has been involved in an accident in Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State, killing three persons.<\/p>\n

The accident which happened on Thursday, occurred in front of Dacoo Petrol Station at Umuafukwu\/Umuagwa village, along Ikot Ekpene Road, in Obingwa LGA.<\/p>\n

The ambulance, which was said to be running at top speed before the accident, hit some tricycles and motorcycles, killing three persons and seriously injuring some others.<\/p>\n

It was not known if the driver of the ambulance was drunk as he continued on to speed after the accident, before running into a nearby bush where his car eventually stopped.<\/p>\n

Villagers and other sympathizers who wept uncontrollably after the accident, lamented that the victims were sent to untimely death.<\/p>\n

The natives advised vehicle owners plying the busy road to respect all road safety measures.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the injured victims have been taken to the hospital for medical attention.<\/p>\n

The incident is coming a few days after a 40-feet container fell from a truck at Ogbo Hill area of Aba, crushing some vehicles and killing some persons.<\/p>\n
