Doctor Urenna Samuel Iroegbu was declared dead at the hospital after a big truck ran into her car while returning to Akwa Ibom State after her service in Port Harcourt in Rivers State.

Iroegbu graduated from Imo State University last year after spending eight years studying medicine. She passed out from the NYSC programme on Thursday, July 16, 2020.

On Saturday, she boarded a Toyota Sienna commercial vehicle to Akwa Ibom, but never made it home. The vehicle she was in was said to have driven against traffic shortly after a heavy rain around 4pm.

A lorry, which had the right of way, was said to have rammed into the vehicle which Iroegbu was in along Onne road, Rivers State.
