Ebony Reigns, Ghanaian dancehall and afro-pop artiste on Thursday night met her unfortunate demise in a car accident on the highway connecting Suynani to Kumasi.

Ebony’s Jeep, according to an eye witness report, was attempting to overtake a trailer in front of it and could not because of a heap of sand apparently on the side of the road and crashed into the side of an incoming VVIP bus heading towards Suynani from Kumasi.

Priscilla Opoku-Kwarteng, stage named Ebony in the Ghanaian music industry, was reportedly on her way to Accra from Sunyani after visiting her mom, who flew to Ghana from the United Kingdom somewhere last week.

The ‘hustle’ hit-maker known among her thousands of fans as ‘the 90’s bad girl’ was with her personal security, her friend one Franklin Nkansah and of course her driver when the accident occurred.

The driver is said to be the only survivor from the Jeep after the accident and is currently receiving treatment at the Bechem government hospital. The news of Ebony’s demise broke early Friday and has since left a sour taste in the mouth of Ghanaians.
