Tipper Truck Crushes Kenkey Seller To Death
A suspected brake failure has led to the gruesome death of a middle-aged Ga Kenkey seller after a tipper truck belonging to a contractor, Kofi Job, ran over her at Bomfa near Ejisu in the Ashanti Region.
The deceased, believed to be in her late 40s, was reportedly selling her Ga Kenkey in front of a container when the heavy-duty vehicle suddenly lost control and crushed her to death.
Eyewitnesses said the truck veered off its course and ran over the unsuspecting woman, killing her instantly.
The horrifying incident has thrown the Bomfa community into deep sorrow and mourning, particularly as the deceased was a familiar face in the area due to her Ga Kenkey business.
Her identity was not immediately established as of the time of filing this report.
The body has since been conveyed to the mortuary, while the police have commenced investigations into the fatal accident.
Meanwhile, residents have expressed concern over the roadworthiness of tipper trucks operating in the area, calling on owners and drivers to undertake regular maintenance of their vehicles.
They particularly urged operators to pay serious attention to their braking systems to prevent avoidable accidents and protect the lives of innocent people.
