Naomi is survived by her husband and two young children.

An eyewitness further noted that, “The driver had loaded in Takoradi and was heading towards Apowa. I realised that his brakes had failed and he did not know what to do. He was torn between crashing into a vehicle in front of him or ending up in the drainage along the road. As he was heading towards the drainage, he crashed into the sachet water seller. You could see her intestines all over,” an eyewitness, Mensah Ntim, indicated.

Investigations by the police are ongoing to determine the full circumstances surrounding the accident.
