A motorcycle rider alongside a passenger were seriously reportedly injured by a police patrol van in a hot chase of Yahoo Boys along Warake Road, Auchi in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State.
An eyewitness account says the police van was on high speed in pursuit of the boys and in the process lost control and rammed into a stationary truck opposite a popular hotel and also crushed the commercial bike rider with a passenger.
The Okada rider and his passenger were reportedly rushed to a hospital but many said they may not survive as a result of the nature of their injuries.
