A military officer has reportedly lost his life in an accident involving an armored vehicle at Saka, a suburb of the Bawku West District.

Several others have also sustained serious injuries in the Upper East Regional town.

The soldiers were en route from Bawku to Bolgatanga when a tyre on their vehicle burst, causing the driver to lose control, leading to the vehicle overturning.

Local residents assisted the police in transporting the deceased and injured officers to the Zebilla District Hospital for medical attention.
