It was a horrific sight along Osogbo-Iragbiji road in Osun State recently when a family of four was killed by a car that is trying to avoid hitting a herd of cows, grazing on an express road.

The sad incident caused pandemonium in the area as irate youths who came to the scene attempted to lynch the herdsman that caused the accident.

The slain family which included a pregnant woman, her husband and their two children, were said to be journeying along the road when they suddenly approached a herd of cattle grazing on the road and blocking their passage.

According to report, the deceased family who rode on a motor bike waited for the cattle to leave the road before proceeding on their journey.

However, a Camry car reportedly rammed into the moving cows and while attempting to avoid hitting them, it veered off but unfortunately lost control and crushed the entire family.

Some residents of the area that came to the scene accused the Fulani herdsman of causing the death of the victims and tried to lynch the herder but for the quick and timely intervention of security agents who arrived at the scene to save the situation.

The Osun State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Yemisi Opalola who confirmed the incident said the family died as a result of injuries sustained in the accident.
