A fatal accident on Monday night claimed the life of a Nigerian man, Ifeanyi Mbah and his two children in Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, South Africa, reports say.

Ifeanyi, 42, and his two sons, Uchenna, 6, and Chinedu, one, died at the scene of the accident, while his wife, Nomabandla Mbah, 33, was the only survivor in the fatal incident.

Wreckage of the car

She was taken to a clinic in Motherwell, where she received treatment for a knee injury, after the accident, which occurred as the family were travelling along the N2, near Bluewater Bay, when their car veered off the road and hit a barrier.

According to the Police spokesperson Captain Andre Beetge, it appeared that the husband had been driving the vehicle when the accident occurred, but it was not known yet what had caused him to lose control and veer off the road.

“At about 8.40pm, a white Volkswagen Polo was travelling along the N2, from Bluewater Bay towards Gqeberha, when it left the road and collided with a barrier. The vehicle overturned in the process and landed on its roof,” Beetge said, adding that a case of culpable homicide was under investigation.
