The driver of the JAC truck sustained injury and was rushed to the Winneba Trauma and Specialist hospital while the bodies of the deceased were also deposited at the same hospital” the Deputy Police PRO said.
An eyewitness told Citi News that “something got broken under the truck so the driver lost control. A private car in front of the landcruiser saw it quickly so he escaped but the landcruiser was on top speed so it crashed into the truck. We retrived their mobile phones and bags which we gave to police officers… We’ve sent their bodies morgue to Winneba because they were all dead. The impact was very high.”
