A tragic accident involving a bus from the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Renewal Movement and a tipper truck in Imo State has resulted in the loss of lives. Twenty (20) individuals are feared dead in the ghastly road accident in Owerri, the Imo state capital.
According to eyewitnesses, the bus and the tipper truck, both traveling in the same direction, collided and crashed into a Coca-Cola shop in Orogwe, Owerri West Local Government Area. Five people died instantly and were taken to a nearby hospital by ambulance, while others remained trapped beneath the bus.
Among the deceased were three workers from the Coca-Cola depot, along with the tipper driver and his conductor. Although some Lord’s Chosen members sustained injuries, none were reported dead.
An eyewitness recounted: “The tragic accident was between a long coaster bus carrying members of the Lord’s Chosen, and a tipper. The two vehicles were coming from Onitsha to Owerri but the coaster bus, in an effort to overtake the tipper, collided with it and immediately lost control.”
“The driver tried to control the steering, but it rammed into a Coca-Cola Depot, where over ten of its staff were knocked down by the vehicle.”
