She blamed the crash on wrongful overtaking and speeding on the part of the truck driver, which led to collision on one of the bikes.

 

This, Okpe said, also led to a crash on the Volkswagen vehicle and the other motorcycle.

 

She said the dead victims had been deposited at the Ifo General Hospital morgue.
