The officials of the Delta State Traffic Management Agency , DESTMA have caused chaos and a ghastly accident along the NPA bypass road injuring two persons in a critical life condition now receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital in Warri, Delta State.
The DESTMA team were driving against traffic when the ghastly accident occurred, they were purportedly chasing a car that’s already on the main lane of the dual bypass carriage, while they drove against traffic plying the other dual carriage lane making them to go hit the car on the right lane on the road leading to Old Port.
The accident which occurred around 3pm Tuesday October 25, 2022 involved a Hyundai Jeep with registration number Lagos APP 345-CG and the the DESTMA Hilux all that knocked down the vehicle both heavily damaged with the official too injuring at the ugly scenario.
As at the time of filing this report the damaged vehicles both the Hilux belonging to DESTMA and the victim’s Hyundai Jeep were towed away .
Meanwhile other occupants in the DESTMA vehicle allegedly escaped when they saw the situation of the accident but the driver were also whisked away for Medicare.
Residents are also urging the Delta State Governor Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa who also doubles as the PDP Vice Presidential Candidate to disband those parading as taskforce in Warri and its environs causing so much road crashes in the city without any road signs for road users.
