While saying 10 persons were injured (eight female adults and two male adults), Okpe added that the male and female kids were rescued unhurt.
The three dead victims, according to her, were two men and one woman.
“The suspected cause of the lone crash was excessive speed when approaching a dangerous bend which led to loss of control.
