According to him, the accident involved 14 people comprising 13 male and one female, saying that four male died with four male sustaining injuries.“The casualty was much because some of the passengers who are also likely owners of the yam were seating on the yam in the open space at the back. “The truck lost control due to excessive speed and poor visibility; fell by its side with the yam and the vehicle fell on them,” he said.
