Some angry youths reportedly set a Toyota car driven by a suspected Yahoo boy ablaze last weekend for crushing two persons to death along Ademulegun Road in Ondo town, Ondo State.
Four other persons were also said to have been injured in the auto crash.
The angry youths reportedly set the car on fire after the suspected Yahoo boy had fled the scene.
It was gathered that the crash, involving a Toyota Muscle car and a tricycle, occurred around 6:30 pm on the fateful day.
An eyewitness said that the accident happened as a result of over-speeding by the suspect.
The suspect abandoned his vehicle after crushing the victims and bolted away from the scene of the crash. The mob was incited by his action.
It was learnt that the corpses of the victims had been deposited in the morgue of General Hospital in Ondo town while those injured were currently receiving treatment at the Trauma Centre.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Ondo State Command, Funmi Odunlami, confirmed the death of the victims, saying four persons were injured during the crash.
Odunlami added that the suspect absconded after the crash occurred, before being identified.
