The police have arrested Kwadwo Asiedu, a tipper truck driver who drove over a young woman and killed her instantly.The incident, which occurred at Kaase, a Kumasi suburb, on Thursday, December 6, 2007, also saw the truck with registration number AS 7032 Y, driven by Asiedu, smashing a VW Golf saloon car with registration number GR 668 F, destroying it beyond repairs.The vehicle also injured two other people, a middle-aged female teacher and a man, who were walking on the pavement around the Guinness Junction at Kaase. They were then rushed to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, where they were admitted for medical treatment. The incident threw the otherwise solemn industrial community of Kaase into a state of mourning on the eve of Farmers Day.Eye witnesses told the Daily Graphic that the tipper truck allegedly had a brake failure, causing it to crush the woman, Vivian Asiedu believed to be a susu collector in her early 20s.The deceased, who was only identified as Vivian, was on her usual rounds and walking on the pavement when the tipper truck hit and dragged her along the road before smashing into the VW Golf.After smashing into the saloon car, the two vehicles fell into a gutter with the truck on top of the saloon car, causing extensive damage to it beyond repairs.The two occupants in the car miraculously escaped unhurt.The body of the susu collector has since been deposited at the KATH mortuary for autopsy.An eyewitness said just after the accident, the driver and his mate took to their heels and managed to escape before the police arrived at the scene.Source: Daily Graphic
