An accident on the Nkwanta–Kpassa road in the Oti region has claimed the life of a mobile phone accessories dealer, leaving three others in critical condition.
The incident occurred on Wednesday morning at Abrewanko Junction along the Nkwanta–Kpassa stretch.
The deceased was travelling on a tricycle, popularly known as an aboboyaa, en route to the Kpassa market when he hit a pothole, causing it to somersault.
Police who arrived at the scene retrieved the body and transported it to the morgue, pending an autopsy.
Residents and road users have attributed the growing number of accidents on the highway to ongoing construction works, which have generated heavy dust and reduced visibility, posing serious risks, particularly to first-time users of the route.
Motorists and tricycle operators using the Nkwanta–Kpassa road have been urged to exercise heightened caution to prevent further accidents.
