Woman Killed As Truck Ran Into Traders At Market In Kumasi

A trader at the Dr. Mensah market in Kumasi was killed in a gruesome motor accident on Thursday morning.

The 51-year-old cabbage vendor, known as Akua Serwaa, was crushed to death when a truck ran into pedestrians at the market.

The long vehicle was loaded with second-hand clothing.

An eyewitness reported that the driver of the truck, with the registration GT 7452-11, had lost control of the wheels, possibly due to brake failure.

The truck ran over the woman, who traded along the roadside, after crashing into a parked taxi cab.

The mutilated body of the deceased, a resident of Antoa in the Kwabre East District, has been deposited at the morgue of Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
