A 51-year-old cabbage seller has died after a trailer truck carrying second-hand clothes rammed into pedestrians at Dr Mensah Market near Kejetia in the Kumasi Metropolis of the Ashanti Region.
The truck which reportedly failed to brake also crashed into a taxi cab that was parked before running over the woman who was selling on the roadside.
Body of the deceased, who was identified as Akua Serwaa was mutilated by the truck after the gory accident.
An eyewitness in an interview with Uniquenewsgh news said the accident occurred on Thursday, May 4, 202,3 after a truck with registration number GT 7452- 11 lost control and run into traders hawking in the area.
Uniquenewsgh news gathered that the deceased was a resident of Antoa in the Kwabre East District who usually sells cabbage at Dr Mensah Market to earn a living.
The mutilated body of the deceased has been deposited at the Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital’s morgue.
“We heard them shouting that we should run so we asked them why we should run at this dawn and they said the brakes of the articulated truck has failed. We gathered some stones and wood to block the road and thankfully it stopped. Then one of the Kayayees pointed a leg under the trailer to us. We realised someone’s leg was cut and they told us it is a cabbage seller,” an eyewitness told Uniquenewsgh news.
