A family of three died in a car crash along the Mabushi Bridge in Abuja on Wednesday, after the driver had an altercation with some louts, resulting in the crash that killed the family instantly.

Our correspondent gathered that the louts had stopped the private vehicle for flouting their rules by reportedly stopping to pick up a passenger who was a relative.

The refusal of the driver to pay the “fine” angered the louts, who then hopped in the vehicle, dragging the steering wheel and eventually causing the accident.

Subsequently, angered passersby who witnessed the scene chased down the louts, eventually setting one of them on fire, and severely injuring the other two, who were rescued and rushed to the hospital by the police. Punch
