Tragedy struck in Arue-Uromi, Esan-North East Local Government Area of Edo State during the weekend, when six children were crushed to death by a Mercedes Benz car bearing a learner driver sign.

It was gathered that the children, four girls and two boys, said to be siblings, were playing football when an approaching Mercedes Benz car, which in an attempt to dodge a pothole, swerved and killed them on the spot.

The accident provoked anger as residents of the community immediately blocked the road and burnt the Mercedes Benz. However, the Edo State Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Henry Benamaisia, confirmed the incident.
