One person has met his untimely death with others injured after a military truck rammed into shops and containers in Zebilla, near the Custom Barrier in the Bawku West District of the Upper East Region.
According to reports, the truck was on top speed from Bolga direction to Bawku when it entered a pothole losing control of the vehicle.
The vehicle veered off the road destroying shops and containers along the roadside. It also hit a motorbike infront of him and killed the rider instantly.
Some traders also sustained injuries as three motorbikes parked by the roadside were also destroyed.
The Zebilla District Police Command, NADMO and the soldiers were all at the scene to control the traffic.
