Three persons were Wednesday hospitalized in Port Harcourt, after a taxi crashed into a Honda jeep.
The incident happened at the UTC junction along Azikiwe Road.
Eyewitnesses told PH Spectator that the incident occurred when the taxi driver (name yet unknown), coming from the town axis of Azikiwe road attempted to beat the traffic light which was already ahead of him crashing into the Honda jeep that was coming from the Abonnema Wharf end of the road.
