A commercial vehicle conductor has died following a tragic accident at Tech Junction in Kumasi.
The incident occurred when the conductor reportedly jumped out of a moving trotro in an attempt to register for the next loading queue. In the process, he slipped and fell under the vehicle’s wheels.
According to eyewitness accounts, the trotro he alighted from knocked him down, and as he struggled to get up, another commercial vehicle loading passengers at the station ran over him.
Madam Ellen, a lotto operator at the station who witnessed the incident, said the decision to jump from the moving vehicle proved fatal.
“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 get up, another van behind also ran him over,” she recounted.
The injured conductor was rushed to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Police have launched investigations to establish the full circumstances surrounding the accident.
