THE ASOKWA Divisional Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service is on a manhunt for a driver in connection with the death of an 18-year-old girl.
The deceased, Christiana Awuah, was said to have been knocked down and killed by a Toyota RAV4 vehicle on Saturday, February 15, 2025.
According to reports, the car veered from its lane and knocked down the girl in front of the Ramsey Vocational School junction around 3pm.
The driver of the vehicle, reportedly, fled from the scene, so the accident vehicle was later towed to the police station to aid in investigations.
The Asokwa Police MTTD statement said, “The unidentified driver is yet to report to Police, whilst the crashed vehicle is also impounded for testing by the DVLA.”
Explaining further, it said, “Information received from Kuntenasi Police District Accident Squad indicates that today 15/02/25 about 1500hrs, an unidentified driver in charge of Toyota RAV4 vehicle with registration No GE 667-22 was driving from Esereso direction towards Atonsu.
