Confirming the accident to Ultimate News, the Nsawam municipal Crime officer, ASP Kofi Sarkodie explained that, the KIA Rhino truck which was not faulty was properly parked along the shoulders of the road but the Ford Salon car which was from Accra heading towards Nkawkaw surprisingly ran into it.
Police suspect the driver of the Private car who is also died was over-speeding.
ASP Sarkodie explains, the driver of the Kia Rhino truck, identified as Seth Klu Abubakari, cannot be held liable for any offense after the preliminary investigation.
He said the Nsawam Police is, however, investigating to ascertain what accidentally triggered the driver of the saloon car to run into the truck.
