A 44-year-old Nigerian woman, Nihinlolawa Agboro, and two of her children, Temiloluwa, 18, and Isaac, 22, have died in a tragic road accident in Texas, United States.
The incident occurred on Sunday, March 15, along U.S. Highway 90A in Fort Bend County, according to reports by Fox26Houston.
The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the crash happened shortly before 9:30 a.m. between Harlem Road and Pitts Road, involving a truck and a sport utility vehicle carrying five occupants.
Authorities said the truck lost control, crossed the median, and collided head-on with the oncoming SUV. The impact caused the truck to overturn and burst into flames, engulfing both vehicles.
Agboro and her two children were pronounced dead at the scene, while two other occupants of the SUV, a four-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy sustained serious injuries and were rushed to a nearby hospital. The truck driver was also taken to a medical facility and is reported to be in serious but stable condition.
