One person has died after a commercial vehicle crashed into some traders at the Suame Roundabout in the Ashanti Region.
Two others who sustained severe injuries are currently at the Tafo Government Hospital responding to treatment.
The accident occurred on Thursday morning when a commercial Toyota car with registration number AS 3987-13 veered off the road and ran over some traders selling along the stretch.
Mr Kofi Richard, one of the passengers in the car during the accident, narrated the story.
“The vehicle was full of passengers moving from Pankrono to Kejetia,” he said.
“Upon getting to the Suame Roundabout, the car veered off and hit three traders.
“One of the women, believed to be in her middle 40s, was trapped under the car for close to 20 minutes before she was rescued and sent to Tafo Government Hospital.
“She was, however, pronounced dead by health officials a few minutes after getting to the hospital. Two others who were hit by the car are responding to treatment.”
Meanwhile, the driver has been arrested by the Suame Divisional Police Command, assisting in investigations.
