A trailer truck has crushed three traders to death at Anloga Junction in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.

The incident occurred on Thursday 7th December 2023 around 9pm.

One person died at the spot while two others in critical condition who were rushed to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital died at the facility later.

The Articulator truck with registration number AS 1786 loaded with heavy bags of fertilizer trapped the victims for over one hour before Ghana National Fire Service personnel managed to rescue the surviving victims.

Eyewitnesses say the accident occurred after the long vehicle parked at Oforikrom ran over the traders without a driver behind the steering wheel, a development eyewitnesses described as strange and unfortunate.

The all-male deceased are yet to be identified and are currently at the Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital’s morgue while the injured are receiving treatment at the same hospital.
