Residents said heavy rainfall and poor visibility, along with a bend known for accidents, contributed to the crash.
Also, the state’s 7pm tricycle operation ban might have led to the tricycle driver rushing to avoid penalties.
Bayelsa State police spokesman, ASP Musa Mohammed, said he was unaware of the accident.
