One person has been confirmed dead after a KIA truck loaded with beer crashed into the New Patriotic Party (NPP) office at Oko Dan in the La municipality of the Greater Accra Region.
The unfortunate incident, which happened on Tuesday, October 24, also left another in critical condition.
According to an eyewitness, Dzifa Amegah, the driver lost control of the vehicle due to a brake failure, leading to the fatal accident.
“When the incident occurred, we went inside, and we realized a woman who sells rice close by had her legs damaged. She had chairs on her, so we removed the chairs and brought her out. She was still alive.
“We realized there was a kenkey seller who was also trapped under the vehicle. When we tried to save her, a police officer tried to stop us, but we ignored him. We lifted the vehicle up using a jack and brought her out, but she was already dead,” Dzifa Amegah said.
A member of the Public Relations Department of the Ghana National Fire Service, ADO1 Alex Nartey, expressed condolences to the bereaved family and urged caution to prevent such incidents, especially during the festive season.
