An accident at Tech Junction station in Kumasi has claimed the life of one person.
The crash involved three commercial ‘trotro’ vehicles and resulted in the death of a conductor.
Eyewitnesses told Adom News that the driver’s mate jumped out of his moving vehicle while it was approaching the station, lost balance, and fell under the wheels.
The vehicle ran over him and collided with another vehicle that was loading passengers at the station.
She explained that another vehicle following behind also ran over the mate, who was later pronounced dead at Tech Hospital.
“The mate jumped out of the moving van to register for the next load, but he slipped and fell. Their own vehicle hit him, and as he tried to stand up, another van behind ran him over too,” she said.
The eyewitness added that other passengers managed to escape from the accident.
“Apart from the mate, no one else was hurt. It is actually shocking, this is the first time something like this has happened here,” she said.
The police Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) has towed all the vehicles involved, and an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the accident.
