Umuahia, July 11, 2025 – A horrific accident in Umuahia has left four passengers dead after a tricycle (Keke Napep) collided with a speeding vehicle earlier this evening.
The tragedy occurred along the Isi Gate-Ohuhu route, where the overloaded Keke was struck with such force that all adult passengers died instantly. Eyewitnesses described a chaotic scene as bystanders rushed to pull victims from the wreckage.
Amid the devastation, a lone survivor—a baby boy (pictured above) —was pulled from the wreckage unharmed, his escape described by onlookers as “miraculous.”
Emergency responders transported the bodies to a nearby morgue while the child received medical checks. Authorities have launched an investigation, with early reports suggesting excessive speed by the car driver as the likely cause.
