An
accident involving a motorcycle and a cargo vehicle on Wednesday, 21 October
2020, claimed the lives of two persons on the Abrepo-Barekese road in the
Kumasi Metropolis of the Ashanti Region.
The
incident occurred when the cargo truck with registration number GT 5539-N
crashed with the motorbike with registration number M-19-AS.
According
to eyewitnesses, the cargo truck was making a U-turn on the intersection close
to the Samad Hotel at Abrepo when the motorbike, which was heading toward
Bantama slammed into it.
Narrating
the incident, one eyewitness told Class91.3FM’s Ashanti regional correspondent
Elisha Adarkwah that: “The cargo truck was making a U-turn in the middle and
the motor was also from the girls’ school en route to town and, so, he was
speeding and he couldn’t control the speed, so, he hit the driver’s side and
threw them off.
“Instantly,
the rider died, but the pillion passenger was still breathing but I can’t tell
if he’s alive or not since they took him away.
