It was gathered that the crash reportedly occurred at about 6:30 pm and it involved a Toyota car driven by a suspected Yahoo boy.

The suspect was driving along with Old Eku road at high speed when he allegedly crushed the three years old who were said to be playing with another toddler when he crushed one and the other escaped.

Eyewitness accounts alleged that the accident was caused by overspeeding on the part of the suspect.
