A driver of a Man Diesel trailer truck has lost his life while attempting to set up a warning signal for his immobile vehicle on the Accra to Kumasi Highway, near Atwemamena, a community close to Akyem Asafo.

The driver's quick thinking to caution oncoming traffic took a devastating turn when he was struck by an oncoming vehicle traveling at high speed.

The unfortunate incident unfolded when the truck, carrying valuable cargo, experienced mechanical problems during the evening in Atwemamena, a local community in the Eastern Region.

Regrettably, the driver did not have access to a warning triangle, a critical piece of safety equipment necessary for such circumstances.

In an effort to signal approaching drivers, he resorted to the traditional practice of cutting and placing weeds on the road.

Tragically, this makeshift warning approach turned fatal when an approaching vehicle failed to notice the driver on the road and collided with him. The impact of the collision resulted in the driver's untimely demise, leaving his shaken colleague, who witnessed the tragic event.

This accident has left the local community in mourning, with the driver's mate overwhelmed by grief, shedding tears at the scene.

Local law enforcement promptly arrived at the scene to manage the situation.

The deceased driver's body has been transferred to the morgue, awaiting the arrival of his family to make further arrangements.
