A 'trotro mate' has died following a tragic accident at Tech Junction in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.
The incident occurred when the 'trotro mate' reportedly jumped out of a moving commercial vehicle (trotro) in an attempt to register for the next available load at the station. In the process, he is said to have slipped and fallen under the wheels of the vehicle.
An eyewitness, Madam Ellen, a lotto operator at the station, said that the situation quickly turned fatal.
According to her, the 'trotro' knocked him down, and as he attempted to get back on his feet, another commercial vehicle, loading passengers behind, ran over him.
“The 'mate' jumped out of the moving vehicle, and his own vehicle hit him, and while he was trying to get up, another vehicle also ran over him,” she recounted.
The victim was rushed to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Police have since commenced investigations into the incident to establish the full circumstances leading to the accident.
