Reactions As Yahoo Boy Crushes 77-year-old Woman To Death With His Toyota Venza

The septuagenarian was inside a tricycle when she was crushed.

The accident, which took place along first Ugbor Road by John Edebia Junction, Government Reserved Area also led to severe injuries for one Regina Jeffery, a 30-year-old resident of Obanor Street, behind Benson Idahosa University, Benin and a tricycle rider.

An eyewitness who gave his name as Sylvester said the driver of the Venza was on top speed when he attempted to overtake the car in his front only to crash into the coming tricycle.

“The driver of the Venza I suspect is a Yahoo boy. They are always driving like the road belongs to them. If he had been patient, the accident would have been avoided.

Another tricycle would have been involved but he was fast enough to avoid being hit. An elderly woman died on the spot while two were taken to Benin Medical Care on Adesuwa Road,” the eyewitness stated.
