A devastating road accident has claimed the lives of a bank teller and his wife in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The couple, Emmanuel Kusi and his wife Margaret, were traveling home after attending a family gathering in Mamponteng.
According to eyewitnesses, the couple's car, a Toyota Corolla, collided head-on with a speeding tipper truck along the Ankaase-Mamponteng stretch. The impact of the crash was severe, and the couple was trapped in the wreckage.
Despite efforts to rescue them, Emmanuel and Margaret succumbed to their injuries and died at the scene. The truck driver, who sustained minor injuries, has been taken into custody for further questioning.
The police have attributed the accident to reckless driving on the part of the truck driver. Preliminary investigations suggest that the driver was overspeeding and lost control, veering into the lane of the oncoming car.
