The mangled vehicles
A tipper truck driver, who was speaking on phone, has crashed into a taxi, killing four family members at Anoff in the Nsawam Adoagyri Municipality of the Eastern Region.
The deceased were on board a taxi with registration number GR 7277-09 from Nsawam to Adeiso.
The tipper truck with registration number GN 7830-16 was from the opposite direction.
Supt Marian, the Nsawam District Police Commander, disclosed that “the tipper truck driver, who was seen talking on the phone, lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the taxi when it got to Anoff where the police had blocked one side of the road for heavy-duty vehicles to be weighed.”
The bodies of the deceased persons have since been deposited at the Nsawam Hospital morgue pending for autopsy while the tipper truck driver has been arrested to assist in police investigations.
