A tragic traffic accident at Mame Waterkofe in the Asuogyaman District has left one Fulani herdsman dead.
Local journalist Papa Ageorgia, reporting on Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, explained that the victim was tending to his cattle and resting near the roadside when the incident unfolded.
A cargo truck bearing the registration number GN 6978-19 and loaded with chippings veered off course, crashing into nearby structures, trees, and the unsuspecting herdsman.
The impact proved fatal for the herdsman, who died on the spot.
According to eyewitness accounts, the vehicle struck the herdsman first before ploughing into the trees and a residential building.
The driver survived the collision but sustained multiple injuries and became trapped inside the mangled cab of the truck.
Concerned local residents rushed to the scene, successfully extricating the trapped driver before police officers arrived to take control of the situation.
The surviving driver was rushed to the VRA Hospital for medical treatment, while the remains of the deceased have been deposited at the mortuary pending autopsy.
