Families of
nine have died after a tricycle they were riding collided with a
tipper truck in the Goaso area of the Brong Ahafo Region.
The accident
was said to have happened around 1pm Tuesday on the Twebide - Dadiesoba
road. The tipper truck was filled with sand at the time of the accident.
Confirming the
deaths, the Brong Ahafo Regional Police Public Relations Officer, ASP
Christopher Tawiah said the tricycle was carrying 10 passengers but
one person escaped unhurt.
He said the
bodies have since been deposited at the Goaso Government Hospital
awaiting autopsy.
He noted that
following the introduction of the tricycles in recent times, people have
resorted to making it their means of transportation and advised against
the act.
“The tricycle
is not meant for carrying passengers, it’s for goods and maybe the
rider,” ASP Tawiah stressed.
