Narrating the incident, the Nsawam Municipal Police Commander, Superintendent Marian Adu- Osei on Citi News said “The taxi driver saw the tipper truck coming and thinking that the road is narrow for both to pass through, the taxi driver stopped for the truck to go, however, the tipper truck came all the way and veered to where the taxi driver had parked and just run over the four persons.

We arrested one person who we believe he was with the driver. He is currently in our custody assisting us to get the driver.”
