Asaba – The Federal Road Safety Commission  (FRSC) in Delta  said  on Wednesday that four persons died  during the Yuletide in an auto-crash.

The FRSC  Sector Commander in the state,  Mr Rindom Kunven.,  told the  News Agency of  Nigeria (NAN)  that  a fatal crash claimed  two males  and two females  while  three  were seriously injured.

He said the incident occurred  some  two  kilometres  after Isele-Azagba and was caused by over speeding  which resulted  in loss of control.

Kunven, who said  the  vehicle  was marked  AAA 946 CK, added that  the corpses of the victims had  already been deposited at the  Federal Medical Centre morgue.

He, however,  said that the crashes recorded during the Yuletide had  reduced greatly as a result of the strategies  put in place by the FRSC.

Kunven said that  measures were still in place to reduce the rate of crashes, adding that   patrols  would be intensified between Asaba  and  Agbor.
