Tragedy hit the family of a newlywed couple in Bayelsa after nine persons, including the groom’s parents and his sibling, died in an auto crash.

The accident occurred at the tollgate along Glory Land drive in Igbogene axis of Yenagoa, the state capital.

According to an eyewitness, the deceased were returning to their base in Sagbama Local Government Area of the state after the wedding ceremony when the unfortunate incident happened.

It was gathered that the bus which the deceased passengers boarded collided with an upcoming vehicle returning from Warri in Delta state.
