At least four people are feared dead, and several others seriously injured in a fatal accident on the newly constructed NI highway Wednesday morning.
According to eyewitness account, a tipper truck coming from the Lapaz stretch of the road for inexplicable reasons lost control and rammed into a tanker in the other lane, which consequently crashed into another truck loaded with sand.
Occupants of the truck carrying sand were mainly construction workers who were on their way to their respective sites, according to an eyewitness.
The sand reportedly scattered on the ground as onlookers lamented the day’s tragedy.
The driver of the heavy duty vehicle was not seen, but eyewitnesses confirmed the death of at least four or five persons and several injured.
The accident occurred around 0400 hours, but as at 0800 hours, officials of the Motor Traffic and Transport Unit of the Ghana Police Service were at the scene to assess the situation.
