Trailer kills woman and a motorcyclist critically injured

A trailer incident on the Kasoa-Cape Coast route has resulted in the tragic death of a woman and the severe condition of a motor rider.

According to preliminary accounts, the okada rider and deceased, as well as the articulated car, were driving from Gomoa Akotsi to Kasoa.

An eyewitness, Ibrahim Abubakar, told Adom News that the Okada rider was travelling in the centre of the road owing to heavy traffic on the route.

When the Okada rider attempted to overtake the truck, a metal on the vehicle’s side yanked them to the ground.

The truck’s back tyre ran over them, killing the female passenger on the spot and leaving her body in an unusual state.

The okada rider, on the other hand, suffered significant leg injuries.

Before transporting the victim to the hospital, emergency response teams were summoned to the area to give immediate medical treatment.

The deceased’s body, thought to be in her late twenties, has been recovered and is being held at the mortuary awaiting identification.
