A tragic accident occurred on Sunday in Ihugh, a community in Vandeikya Local Government Area of Benue State, resulting in one death and leaving another person injured. The incident involved a pilot vehicle in the convoy of Governor Hyacinth Alia, who was en route to his country home for Christmas celebrations.
The accident occurred along a dusty, untarred road, with reports indicating that the driver of the pilot vehicle lost visibility due to thick dust. As a result, the vehicle veered off course and collided with a motorcycle. One person was killed in the crash, while another sustained injuries. The identities of the victims have not yet been disclosed.
According to sources, the governor was on his way to church when the accident took place. The poor visibility caused by the dust contributed to the tragic incident, which resulted in a fatality and multiple injuries. Local authorities are yet to provide further details as investigations into the crash continue.
Governor Alia’s convoy was traveling on a road known for its poor condition, and the accident has raised concerns over road safety in rural areas of the state.
