Driver’s mate dies in tragic Tech Junction accident in Kumasi

A tragic accident at Tech Junction station in Kumasi has claimed the life of a conductor. The crash involved three commercial ‘trotro’ vehicles.

Eyewitnesses told Adom News that the conductor jumped out of his moving vehicle while it was approaching the station, lost his balance, and fell under the wheels. He was then struck by his own vehicle and subsequently hit by another trotro that was following behind.

“The mate jumped out of the moving van to register for the next load, but he slipped and fell. Their own vehicle hit him, and as he tried to stand up, another van behind ran him over,” one eyewitness explained.

The victim was pronounced dead at Tech Hospital. Fortunately, other passengers managed to escape without injury.

“Apart from the mate, no one else was hurt. It is actually shocking; this is the first time something like this has happened here,” the eyewitness added.

The Police Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) has towed all vehicles involved in the incident, and an investigation is underway to determine the exact cause of the accident.
