A 24-year-old man met his untimely death Friday afternoon in Sunyani after he got trapped between a tipper truck loaded with chippings and a concrete entrance.
Joy News correspondent Precious Semevor said the deceased, Abdul Salifu visited Sunyani from Kremo-krom a suburb of Atronie in the Sunyani East district. He was in town to start the process of enlistment into the Ghana Police Service.
Salifu was reported to be walking by the side of the road with his documents when he got trapped between the entrance of Silver House, a popular drinking spot and the side of an 18 cubic metres tipper truck.
The truck loaded with chippings according to sources was parking on the concrete slabs covering the gutter in front of the spot when the slabs caved in trapping Salifu in the process.
He died before he could be removed. The body has been deposited at the Sunyani mortuary.
