Tanker runs over a trotro car in Amasaman, Accra, killing 7 people.

 

According to reports, a car accident on the Amasaman-Nsawam route in the Greater Accra Region claimed the lives of seven people.

Seven of the ten people on board are said to have died when a tanker collided with a trotro car on Monday.

Eyewitness Alex Ahenkorah told Adomonline.com that the tanker driver lost control of his brakes and collided with the commercial vehicle.

“The commercial driver slowed down upon getting to a section of the road which is under construction due to a hole there. Unfortunately, the tanker driver which was behind crashed into it and destroyed it totally,”  the man stated.

He said that although bystanders were able to free the victims from the wrecked car, most of them were not responding.
