Three policemen on a routine patrol narrowly escaped being crushed to death by a caterpillar, which rammed into their pickup van in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital.

NewsmakersNG learnt that the driver had lost control of the caterpillar along the NTA-Ilawe road and crashed into the patrol van which was coming in the opposite direction.
