A tragic motor accident on the Pleebo-to-Boniken Highway has claimed the life of Benetor Toe, a widow and mother of 11 children, while she was traveling to visit a family member who had recently given birth.
Miss Toe, a resident of Tubman Farm in Maryland County, met her untimely demise en route to Boniken, Karluway District.
Local authorities confirmed the incident, which occurred on April 3, 2025, in the afternoon hours.
The Township Commissioner of Boniken, Jasper Biliby, told reporters that the deceased was a longtime resident of Tubman Farm, situated between Pleebo Sodoken District and Karluway District in Maryland County.
According to eyewitness accounts, the accident involved a motorcyclist identified as Elton Teanacy, who was reportedly traveling in the opposite direction of Benetor Toe.
Reports suggest that the motorcyclist, who traveled from Nimba County to Maryland, was using the sidewalk when the collision occurred, leading to the fatal impact.
A family member disclosed that Miss Toe had been engaged in the rock-crushing business since the death of her husband several years ago. She worked tirelessly to support her 7-year-old grandson, who is currently enrolled at Boniken Public School.
Health officials at Pleebo Health Center confirmed that Toe was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Meanwhile, another passenger, Princess Miamen, who was traveling to Maryland County for a business trip with the motorcyclist, is currently receiving medical treatment at the health center.
The fatal accident, which also involved a former teacher of YAR Cooper Elementary and Junior High School in Rock Hill, Montserrado County, has sparked widespread concern in Maryland County.
