Princess Atsibema, 6, a primary one pupil of T.I Ahmadiyya School at Asafo in the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly of the Ashanti Region was knocked down to death by the Articulator Truck with registration number GC 5497-11.
The incident happened on Thursday, December 9, 2021 at Asafo whiles the innocent child was on errand to to a food joint at the other side of the road.
Eye witnesses speaking to Akwadaa Nyame on Silver FM’s morning show on Friday, December 10, 2021 said, her school bag locked the tail of the trailer pulling her under the long vehicle.
The driver unintentionally runs the vehicle over her head killing the primary one pupil instantly.
The shouts from the eye witnesses drew the attention of the driver to stop but……it was too late.
The body has been to the morgue whiles the driver of the vehicle is in the custody of the police.
The residents of the area are therefore calling on authorities to ban long vehicles brought into the small area by shop owners after long standing complains have yielded no results.
