The Ejisu District Court on Tuesday remanded the driver who crashed three siblings to death at Ejisu-Besease in the Ashanti Region on Sunday.

This resulted in the vehicle veering off the road and hitting the siblings who were standing on the shoulders of the road.

Whist Hamidu Mohammed, aged 62 and Masawudu Nalko, aged 40, died shortly after arriving at the Ejisu Government Hospital, 50-year-old Abdul Rahman Mohammed, who sustained severe injuries and was referred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for treatment died the following morning.
