Ace highlife musician, Daniel Amakye Dede has revealed the circumstances that led to his accident on Saturday, January 2, 2016, at Nsutam, on the Anyinam-Bunso road in the Eastern region.

He said the driver, who caused the accident, was on phone so he lost control and run into his car.

“A guy who was in the car with me told me after I regained consciousness that the driver was speaking on phone and crashed into our car,” he revealed.
