Accident: Tipper Crushes Housewife, 2 Others A tipper driver, identified as David Ofor, in Okpanam Community, near Asaba, Delta State, who claimed to have lost control after his brake failed, killing a housewife and two others, on the spot, is currently helping the police at the state CID, the state police command. Reports said that that the incident which occurred on Monday afternoon attracted hundreds of passers- by including sympathizers where the tipper-lorry driver allegedly crushed the victims to death. Eye witness said that one of the victims, a mother of one, and two others where by the road side waiting for commercial taxi to Asaba when the tipper-lorry crashed into them killing them on the spot. But police public relations officer in the state, DSP Celestina Kalu, confirmed that the suspect upon interrogation confessed that he lost his brake while in motion and could not control his speed rate, thereby crashing into the victims. She added that he would be charged to court on completion of investigation. Expectedly, residents of Okpanam community, including the husband of the victim, have been thrown into mourning and confusion over what they described as mysterious death of the housewife and two others.
