A form three student named
Dorothy Mensah of the Aisha Islamic Basic at Mankessim in the Central Region
has met her untimely death after a truck loaded with cement run over her.
Information gathered by EIB
Network’s Central Regional Correspondent Yaw Boagyan revealed that the
17-year-old student was crossing the road from school when the speeding truck
hit and run over her causing her instant death.
Five other students who were with
the deceased from the same school were also injured and were rushed to the
Mankessim Roman Hospital where they are receiving treatment.
The body of the deceased has
been deposited at the Saltpond Mortuary while police begin an investigation
into the matter.
It would be recalled that two
students from the same school (Aisha Islamic Basic School) were knocked down on
Wednesday while crossing the road from the school.
Meanwhile, some angry youth have
called on the Municipal Chief Executive for Mfantseman Municipality, Hon.
Kenneth Kelley Essuman to immediately construct speed rumps on the Mankessim to
Saltpond highway.
They warned that should the MCE
fail to do so, they’ll stage a massive demonstration against him as they cannot
stay aloof to see people die through avoidable road crashes.
