The accident has caused heavy traffic on the deplorable Eleme axis of the East-West road.
An eyewitness, Chinwi Ate who shared information about the accident on his Facebook post on Friday said attempts were on to rescue the victims in the Toyota Sienna Saloon Car and Toyota Hilux.
It is yet to be ascertained if lives were lost in the accident.
