Wednesday, October 8, 2025 - Five teachers returning
from the celebration of World Teachers Day have narrowly escaped death in an
auto crash.
The teachers from Ughelli South local government area, Delta
State were involved in an accident along the Ughelli-Asaba express way on
Sunday, while going back to their base after the world teacher’s day event in
Asaba.
They were traveling on a bus when their vehicle had a
collision with a moving truck at Akiewhe in Isoko North local government.
Some of the teachers, who, however, broke their legs, hands,
head and sustained other various degrees of injury are currently in critical
health condition at the hospital.
Our source said, “The truck driver veered off his lane when
the bus was already close. He attempted to overtake. The truck driver turned
his steering towards the bus and a major collision occurred.
“There were about ten teachers on the bus also driven by a
teacher. The accident was serious that rescuers could not pull-out victims from
the bus. They axed the bus before they could pull out the victims.
“Five teachers had very severe injury including the
