On Friday, a significant number of people were injured when a tipper truck lost control, failed to brake, and crashed into the bustling Asamankese lorry station.

An eyewitness, Philip McCain, who spoke to Adom News said the truck is suspected to have failed its brakes.

He said aside from dragging some cars along, it also rammed into over 10 vehicles loaded with passengers.

“Many vehicles were destroyed and the passengers were also injured and were rushed to the hospital for medical attention,” he added.

Mr McCain said some of the passengers were feared dead due to the severity of their injuries.
