The deceased, a male who was the driver and two females, whose identities and nationalities are yet to be ascertained died on the spot.

Their remains have been deposited at the morgue of the Trauma and Specialist Hospital in Winneba.

The driver of the truck together with his mate whose identities are not readily available also sustained injuries and receiving treatment at same hospital in Winneba.

The station officer at the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) in Winneba, Mr Hackman Afful, told the media with support from some personnel of the Ghana Police Service, they managed to clear the road to ensure free flow of traffic on that stretch of the road.

He noted that preliminary information gathered from eye witnesses indicated that when the truck realised it had developed a fault, the driver started tooting his horn to ward off vehicles approaching from the opposite direction but the driver of the Prado did not notice it which resulted in the head on collision.
