9 students die after UTME

Nine people believed to be candidates of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination which took place yesterday died in a road accident along Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway.
The victims who were travelling in a Hiace bus from Port Harcourt to Aba died when their vehicle ran into a stationary truck with registration number, XC 109 SLK.
Eyewitnesses say the vehicle was trying to overtake another vehicle when it lost control and rammed into a Mack truck packed by the roadside.
Reports say nine out of the 15 passengers inside the vehicle, including the driver and his conductor died instantly while six were seriously injured. The accident which occurred around 9:30am on Friday caused heavy traffic build up on the ever busy Aba side of the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway
Blood of the accident victims were splattered on the ground several metres away from the spot of the carnage and people wept openly as mangled bodies were retrieved from the accident wreckage.
Geoffrey Ogbonna, the Abia State Command Police Public Relations Officer confirmed the incident noting that the dead passengers appeared to have been heading for an examination considering the items recovered from the accident scene.
According to Ogbonna, "The students were coming from Port Harcourt to Aba in a Hiace bus when their driver rammed into a Mack truck parked by the side of the expressway".
He said the six persons who survived the accident were in critical conditions and immediately taken to hospital. The bodies of the dead, including the driver and his conductor,were deposited at the mortuary
