At least one person is reported dead after the bucket of a tipper truck hit the overpass at Kasoa on Friday, June 21, 2024.

According to GHOne TV, the deceased was the driver of the tipper truck. Two of the driver's assistants (mates) who were with him in the truck were critically injured.

An eyewitness, who spoke to the media house, indicated that the bucket of the tipper truck suddenly disconnected from the vehicle and hit the overpass, forcing its head to fall off.

The driver and his mates were pushed out of the truck by the force of the impact when the bucket hit the overpass.

The driver, unfortunately, fell under the truck, and it ran over his head.

The witness stated that the driver's mates are still alive and have been taken to a nearby health facility for treatment.
