A 28-year-old man has been crushed to death by a tipper truck on the Kasoa-Winneba Highway.

According to the police, the deceased, who is yet to be identified, overtook the truck with his motorbike and collided with another biker.

However, after the collision, the deceased is reported to have fallen off his bike onto the path of the tipper truck with the registration number GN 8366-20 leading to his death.

Eyewitnesses told Adom News’ Kofi Ajei that the truck ran over the victim's head, killing him instantly.

“It was a very close range, so there was no way the tipper truck could have stopped,” one witness reported.

The police say the deceased's body has been taken to the mortuary for preservation, identification and collection.
