Head Porter Killed in Kumasi

A 36-YEAR-OLD head porter has been killed by a speeding Urvan bus at Dr. Mensah Area in Kumasi.

The porter, only identified as Fuseini, was run over by the speeding vehicle, killing him instantly.

Speaking on Otec FM on Monday, Jacob Agyenim, an eye witness, said Fuseini was hanging around the area on that fateful afternoon when the incident happened, after a suspected brake failure.

According to Agyenim, many people who saw the looming dander at the scene, amid shouts, ran to safely, but Fuseini, who apparently did not see the approaching car early enough, could not get out of harm’s way.

Fuseini sustained serious injuries all over his body and he was rushed to the nearest medical facility in the city for treatment but gave up the ghost on arrival.

The body of the deceased, said to be very popular in the Dr. Mensah Area, had since been deposited at the morgue for autopsy.
