Pregnant woman, 2 others die in tricycle-truck collision

A tricycle carrying passengers, including a pregnant woman, collided with a tipper truck, resulting in three fatalities and six injuries in Akomadan, the Offinso North District of the Ashanti Region.

The incident occurred on the Akomadan-Konkoma road around 6 pm on Thursday, February 29.

The tricycle, transporting various artisans, was en route to Akomadan township when it collided head-on with the tipper truck, which was carrying sand on a narrow stretch of the road.

Elijah Mamoa, Offinso North District Director of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), confirmed the details, citinewsonline.com reports.

“It was a crash between a tipper truck and a tricycle. The tipper truck was returning to their base, where they harvest sand and the tricycle was also returning to Akomadan, where it was carrying people before the head-on collision occurred," Elijah Mamoa stated.

Ghana’s leading digital news platform, GhanaWeb, in conjunction with the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, is embarking on an aggressive campaign which is geared towards ensuring that parliament passes comprehensive legislation to guide organ harvesting, organ donation, and organ transplantation in the country.
