The police man who was driving a Toyota Vitz taxi, is said to have been pursuing an errant trotro driver when he tripped over a mound and veered onto the pavement, ramming into the people.

Eyewitnesses revealed that the body of one of the victims, identified only as Abena, was completely decapitated.

They revealed that about two pedestrians who were around when the incident occurred also sustained various degrees of injuries.

However, some eyewitnesses criticised the police officer for using an unofficial vehicle to conduct such an operation.

Meanwhile, the Motor Transport and Traffic Directorate (MTTD)at Odokor, ASP Kingsley Kanda said investigation has commenced on the incident.

Although he refused to reveal the suspect, ASP Kanda confirmed that the suspect is indeed a police officer.
